What does the command

ls -lR filename

(where filename should be the file or directory you downloaded) show ?

I'm specifically saying "directory", because you said "inside" ...

Trying something like

chmod -R a+rwx filename
rm -rf filename

might work better, if there are read-only directories involved.
