Why can’t I delete files on my computer?

I'm having trouble deleting files on my laptop. Whenever I try to delete a picture file, I only see options to copy or share it. I'm using the file explorer on my personal laptop, and I'm the only user, which means I'm also the administrator. Can anyone help me figure this out?

You could try using a tool like File Locksmith from PowerToys. It might help you unlock any files that are being held by the system. Here’s a link that explains how to use it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/file-locksmith

It sounds like you might need to provide a bit more detail. Are you using file explorer, or are you trying to delete the file from an app? Also, make sure you're right-clicking on the file itself. Just a heads-up, it could also depend on whether the files are local on your computer or if they're saved in the cloud.
