Well, actually, NO -- you're not ... not the Administrator, and not the only one. That is, unless you went to the trouble to unhide the REAL Administrator account and now, login using only that account -- which is, by the way, a really BAD idea!

What you are is a normal user with some elevated rights. What you're seeing is not unusual if you're trying to do something to one or more of the "system" files or folders.

Don't understand what you say ..
I bought the laptop and set it up by myself ..

Some things to try:

1. Enable hidden Administrator then login to it and try to delete the file
Open a Elevated Command Prompt
Press WIN + X to open Start context menu.
Select Command Prompt (Admin)​.

Enter net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter
Type exit and press Enter to close the Command Prompt window.

Note: /active:no will disable it again.​

Logoff then login as Administrator.
Try to delete the file.

2. Install Unlocker and use it to delete the file.

3. Take Ownership of the file then delete it.
Easiest way to do this is to add the Take ownership option to the right click Context menu.

Says for Windows 7 but works for Windows 8 too.

Once installed, right click on the file and choose Take ownership then delete it.

Your user account may say your an Administrator but that just means your a member of the administrators group. Your still subject to UAC restrictions etc. You have more permissions than the standard user account type but not all that go with the hidden System Administrator account. That's why you still see the "Run as administrator" option on some things. Doing that will temporarily elevate you to full admin while running that program. One of the reasons this is done is to protect you from malware. If a nasty tries to do something in the background you should get a UAC prompt. If your not doing anything that should tip you off that something isn't right. Log in a system admin and that safety blanket is gone.
