Administrator Privileges and permissions when in a User account

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm trying to get Eraser to erase the folder left behind when I close
a sandboxed apllication - such as Firefox - in a User account.
However, I get a popup stating that Administrator privileges are
required. Obviously, I don't want to browse in an account with
Admin priviliges, so I experimented altering permissions to finally
give Everyone permission on both the Eraser file and the folder I want
to erase. But this has had no effect and still the message comes up
that admin privileges are required.

I thought that by giving Everyone full control both over the file
doing the erasing and the folder I want erased, that would effectively
give Admin privileges to that part of the User account that is
demanding such privileges.

It could be that I have overlooked something in permissions.
However, could it be that the system recognises that, regardless of
the permissions I alter, I am still in a User account and until I
upgrade the whole account to an Admin account, I cannot erase the
folder? So I suppose the question is: is Full Control of an object
identical in every way to Admin privileges over that object (and vice
versa: Admin privileges identical to Full Control)?

Many thanks
