The user account that you are running as doesn't have permission to modify or delete those directories.
If you have sudo, then you're either going to have to do your things that way or edit the permissions to allow the user account itself to perform those operations.
To see what the permissions are, open a terminal, become root (if necessary), and ls -l on the parent directory or ls -ld on the directory itself.
