I have a file which I cannot delete because "i do not have permission". I am the only user of this computer and I can change anything else but I cannot delete this file. I can open the file, but I cannot write to it. I have tried changing the permission in Get info, but it won't allow that either. Is there a way in Terminal? BTW I have re-booted many times.

A NAS has its own operating system and file system. It manages its own permissions. You should have some interface that allows you to set the permissions.
As your Get Info shows custom access and doesn't know who the owner is, perhaps something is corrupt about that file on the NAS. Does the NAS have any management software that might allow you to delete the file from within its control.
This is what I see with Get info. I have exactly the same file in another folder with almost the same name , which I can read write and or delete without problem. Just this file which I think is preventing me from deleting the folder containing it.
What are the permissions for the file that you see in Get Info?
You need a Terminal.
Are you familiar with the Terminal?
What is the file and where is it?

File cannot be deleted as no permission?!
