I listened to an mp3 (recorded from the earlier adventure in automatically
running VLC). Close VLC.

I went to delete the file in Thunar file manager, and the delete and trash
options were grayed out for the file. So I went to the command line, cd'd
to the directory.
ls -lh filename
-rw-rw-r-- 1 paul paul 220M (etc.)

rm filename
rm: cannot remove 'filename': Permission denied

I was immediately able to sudo rm the file. My first thought was somehow I
didn't have write permission, but I'm logged in as the file owner, and it
obviously says I have user and group write permission.

Any thoughts on what could cause this?  (That file is gone now, so I can't
do any other prodding, and I'm not ready to delete another from the
directory yet.)

Paul
