Delete file with insufficent authorization message

Hello dears,

I have a problem,

I was trying to delete a file from the home page of sas for academics on demand but there is a message like in the document attached.

Can you help me to resolve this problem?

Thanks a lot.

my_shared_file_links points to a directory shared between users, so this dataset might have been created by another user, and you do not have the permissions necessary to delete it.

Hi Curt,

thanks for the reply,

i think that this dataset is not created by any users but by me because of a lot of time ago i imported a file in this folder for a university assignment but now there is only this file in this folder, like in the pic, but im not able to delete this file and so the my_shared_file_links folder.

I would resolve this problem as soon as possible because now i'm not using sas studio.

i may ask an help.

Thanks a lot.

What happens when you define a LIBNAME to the path and run a procedure (e.g. PROC CONTENTS) on the dataset? And then try PROC DELETE?
