Unable to move 'Z:\Thumbs.db' to the Recycle Bin!

Error calling "fileOp->PerformOperations()".
HRESULT: 0x80270021, Facility: User Shell

Windows 7 SP1 64bit & Truecrypt Partition
FreeFileSynce v5.4 Build: Jun 1 2012 - Unicode x64

Using Mirror backup option, every file delete occurrence gives this error. I
am able to manually delete the file myself, but freefilesync can't. Is there a
fix or am i doing something wrong?

Beginning with FFS v5.3 you'll also see what process is locking the file.

Update: I tried running FreeFileSync with administrative rights as Win7
defaults to regular non-privileged rights, and the files were able to
delete/move to recycling bin.

Update: The drive I was using was an external HD. When I moved to a new
desktop the NTFS owner/permissions was from the old XP desktop. I retook
ownership of the folder/files and now it works without using administrative
rights in Win7.
