I create daily backups on a NAS drive. When the new one is complete I delete the previous day. I've been unable to delete the folder from the 8th because I don't have permissions to delete files. I just deleted 06112023, so I definitely have permissions on the main folder.

If I open the root folder itself in terminal and run "sudo rm -rf 06082023" I get the same lack of permission error. What do?

(06082023 is the folder I'm trying to delete.)
