Can't move or delete in Lightroom

[IanB]

WARNING: I'm tired, cranky and had a total gut full of PSCS3/lightroom/nikon/canon and the companies that make these things: why can't I move/delete image/files in lightroom/CS3 bridge>> I have to go into windows to do it and even there it keeps telling me I don't have permission and I need to click several OKs to delete/move. WHY?? Please; which button/s do I have to push so I can remove/delete images and folders.

Note: my hard drive has been formatted and I'm starting from scratch reloading programme/images .Programmes are all legal

Thanks Rick, but I think it's deeper then that; I didn't have this much trouble deleting/moving before formatting the h/drive>> I know how the delete should work in lightroom, but I now have to go back into explorer to delete anything>>I just feel there is something to be unlocked.

Ah. Now I get you..Does sound like a permissions issue

sometimes mine does that too uusally restarting it after lots of words not all polite works but yes it sounds like a admin user setting to me

If you have loaded the files originally and then re-installed Windows, the new account you set up will have a different account-id. If this is the case, take ownership of all the files as an Administrator and over-write any pre-existing permissions. After that you can assign your new account with the appropriate permissions. Hope this helps
