How do I delete folders from my thumb drive?

My sister and I have the same types of thumb drives, but I can delete folders on mine and she can't delete folders on hers. Every time I click and drag a folder to the trash, it says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -1407)." How do I delete folders from my thumb drive?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Right click (or Control + click) on the drive and select Get Info. At the bottom check to see whether you have Read And Write permissions.
