Actually, *you* wrote that. This is a screen I am looking at, not a mirror :-)

Is this the contents of strFileName?

Then sTest would probably be the path of the directory containing the file
named by strFileName.

The output you give below indicates that the user who ran the program has
all permissions on the directory ...

... and is able to lose execute permission.

All these permissions are not sufficient for removing this directory.
Removing a file system element (directory, file) does not change the element
itself, but the directory *that contains it*. Does the user have the
necessary permissions for that directory?
