I am using SAS OnDemand for Academics and have A LOT of course files loaded in my home directory, counting against my personal data usage. I am now over my quota in my home directory while my course directory is at 0%. I do not use or want these course files but I receive a message that says I am not authorized to delete them. Is there a way to delete them or move them to their rightful home in the course directory?

One should be able to delete files and folders under the home directory by Right clicking and selecting the delete option.
What exactly are you trying to delete? is it possible to attach a screen capture?

Hi, it doesn't work. Below is the screenshot of the problem. These files were from a previously enrolled course. Screenshot.png

The error indicates that you don't have permissions to delete the file.  
The folder name my_shared_file_links gives the impressions that this could be a read only access. In that case you cannot delete it.

If you are indeed the owner of the file, then make sure it is not open or in use.
