I have changed the permissions on my 1TB WD Passport and have less access now!

I recently changed the permissions on my WD Passport to Everyone - Full control

I have had an issue with windows explorer crashing so I am trying to delete the folder that is causing the issue in the WD Passport through FileZilla but I get an error message every time that says ’ you need to provide administrator permission  to delete this folder. Surely if the permission is set to Everyone - Full control this shouldn’t be happening???

If you are using Vista or Windows 7 you may also need to take ownership of the file. You’ll have to google that for the steps.
