Problems with file and folder deletion

When trying to remove a file, you may get an error if the file has such permissions that would not allow you to remove it. The same goes for folders. However, if it is a folder that you are trying to remove, it may not be the folder itself, which has improper permissions but a file or a sub-folder inside the folder that you want to delete.

To resolve this problem you must change the permission set on the file in question and if it's a folder, you may have to change the permissions of the files and the folders located inside it as well. The proper permissions that need to be applied are 755. With these permissions applied to a file or a folder (and its content) you will be able to remove it via the File Manager tool or via FTP.
