You can set the security up, so that only you can delete or modify certain folders. Right-click > Properties > Security then add yourself 'Ali' to have 'Full Control' then set 'Everyone' or each individual user(s) to only have 'Read & execute' access. If you do this on whatever folders or files you require to protect.

Hope this helps

JP
