I'm the only user of my computer and when I try to make a deletion I'm told I need administrator permission.
Hello @Bill47pi!
If you are using the desktop app, I recommend that you uninstall it and then reinstall it. If you are using https://www.dropbox.com, then I recommend that you clear your browser cookies and cache. I have provided step-by-step instructions, below:

I established a dropbox account today. I transferred a file that is very large (2GB) I wish to remove the file from Dropbox. But it says I need permission from myself I guess to delete it. How can I remove this file? I'm the only one with access to it.
Hey @gapoe111, thanks for reaching out to us.
Can you please give us a bit more info on how you added the file to your Dropbox?
Did you add a shared folder that someone else invited you to?
If you can also send us a screenshot of the error, that'd be really helpful too.
