Have you tried re-syncing the content? Media Player should go out and get new licenses, if necessary.

Check the permissions in their user profile folder\desktop under documents
and settings. By default the user would have full control permissions unless
somebody changed them. The link below explains more on changing NTFS/folder
permissions. They would need full control or modify allow permission to
delete any files. Also if they are a member of a group that has deny
permissions to the folder they could be denied ability to delete the
files. --- Steve
