Groups or users granted Full Control on a folder can delete any files in that folder regardless of the permissions protecting the file.

Notes

Although List Folder Contents and Read & Execute appear to have the same special permissions, these permissions are inherited differently. List Folder Contents is inherited by folders but not files, and it should only appear when you view folder permissions. Read & Execute is inherited by both files and folders and is always present when you view file or folder permissions.
For information on setting permissions and descriptions of each special permission, see Related Topics.
In the Windows Server 2003 family, by default, Everyone does not include Anonymous, so permissions applied to Everyone do not affect Anonymous.
