Q: unable to delete time machine backups OSx el capitan

Since upgrading my iMac 2010 to OS El Capitan, I am no longer able to completely delete time machine backups.  I get a message saying that some files could not be deleted because I do not have permission.  As I am the sole user and administrator, I don't understand this.  I also do not know what these files are.  I am gradually accumulating undeleted backups only my external HDD.  I never had this problem with previous versions of OSx.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
