    Delete public files

    I'm new to this network stuff. Just got it up and running.
    I placed 2 files in my Public Download folder.
    From the second computer I access the folder and copied them to Publie
    download folder .
    Now I wsih to delete them from both computers. When I try from each
    comp. I get same message. " you need permission to perform this action
    ".
    What's the deal ? How can I delete them ?
    Thanks for any and all help....

    Hi
    Make3 sure that the Sharing is configured to every one allowed to make
    changes to the folders.
