It's saying that I need permission to perform this action. What gives?

I have no idea if I am or not, but I've deleted movies before.

I restarted, and it still wouldn't let me. I deleted Black Swan earlier and it went fine.

Reboot into safe mode and delete it...

Reboot your PC -> When it's booting up tap the F8 key -> Safe mode...

Thank you. Why does safe mode change what I can and can't delete?

The issues you have with your computer are humorous to me.

Maybe because they're easy to solve with a quick google search? I'm not sure, this thread just gave me a laugh.
