how to delete a image file from IBM content manager for ISeries using an external application?

I am doing maintenance to an old application written in vb that reads images files from and IFS (Integrated File System) folder.

I need to add a feature where users can delete images from this folder; however, I am getting the following error:

File Access Denied

Content Manager is ISERIES db2 database. I am even able to delete the record from the database, but concerning this image, how can I delete this? Any suggestions? I am new in AS400. I am still doing research about it but no success.

Regards,

It sounds like your user profile has read only rights. Check with ls -la
If you aren't the owner, or don't have rights, you won't be able to delete the file.
At this point, the SETGID bit can be a solution. Try to discuss this issue with your admin.
