As "arun", you may not be able to delete my file named "junk.txt", unless you are logged in as the file owner or as root, even if the file is in a directory where you have full read/write/execute permissions.
if I am in a directory where I have full read/write/execute permissions, I should be able to delete the file even if I am not owner of that file.
