the file or folder from there or delete it completely. See also

1.4.3 Changing Access Permissions
Because Linux is a multiuser system, every file in a Linux file system belongs to a user
and a group. All users, including the superuser, have their own home directories where
private data, like documents, bookmarks, or e-mail, are stored. Write access to these
home directories is strictly limited to the owner by default. As an owner of a file or di-
rectory, you can change the access permissions to your files. For example, you can
protect files holding sensitive data against read access by other users and you can au-
thorize other users to write, read, or execute several of your files where appropriate.
Traditionally, three permission sets are defined for each file object on a Linux system.
These sets include the read (r), write (w), and execute (x) permissions for each of three
types of users—the file owner, the group, and other users. For more information about
