Moved files to new user, now requires password to e.g. delete files

[johannnn]

I created a new user with admin rights (mountain lion). I went to /Users/ in Finder, right clicked on my old admin user, chose Get Info, under Sharing & Permission I added my new user to Read & Write so that I got access to all the files. I then copied all the Desktop/Download/Documents stuff to my new user.
Problem is, every time I want to do something with a file from the old user, e.g. move it to trash, it requires admin password.

Anyone heard of this problem? Did I do something wrong?

Thanks

I assume that the files are still owned by the old admin user. The new user simply has read/write access.

To check this, login as the new admin user. Open Terminal (in Utilities) and paste in the following, and then press return:

ls -l ~/Documents/

Please post the output.

Thanks, yep the problem was ownership Actually there is a fix in the Get info -> Sharing & Permission window, just click the down-arrow in the bottom and choose Make x the owner.
