The FAT filesystem has no permissions. Anybody has full access to each and every file in the drive. This, combined with its widespread implementation, is one of the reasons why it is the de facto filesystem of USB drives.

On the other hand, NTFS has permissions. To be able to delete a folder, a user needs to have either Full Control or Modify permissions.

In Windows, to set these, right click the folder, select Properties, and under the Security tab, select the user, and check the Allow boxes below. You need to have permissions yourself beforehand (either by being the original owner, or by doing this as an administrator)

Can't delete unused folder from program file?
