Cant delete new folders
Hey all, anytime I download something new or create a new folder it only gives it root access, under my username even logged in as root I am unable to delete it. I have tried everything I can think of but the only thing that will allow me to delete it is "chown username file name" and im sick of typing it in every time I want to delete something, so how can I make all new folders and downloads be able to be deleted while logged in under my username? Thx guys

Which OS are you using? What command/s you tried? What error/s are you getting?

ERROR: Unable to trash files, permission denied. ls-l shows my username as owner of everything except the new directores that are created when I download they are owned by root, so this is only happening when new things are being downloaded through terminal |
Open a terminal and login through 'root' user and then go to the Downloads directory where you have downloaded the data. Then try "rm -rf <file/directory_name>"
