I am setting up our PDM (standard) system and I have another of many questions...

My only experience is with PDM workgroups about 6 or 7 years ago and Standard is very different. I set up a work flow and created a part and it's drawing and moved them through the workflow process (with a couple of hiccups, but it worked). After completing that process, I attempted to delete the files. and got a message that said I didn't have the permissions to do that. after attempting to delete the files, the drawing file now says that it is  a "local file" and I am unable to load it back into the vault. or delete or find it anywhere. is that normal or did I do something catastrophically wrong? as someone with admin permissions I would assume that I would be able to delete files.

apologies if this has been asked and answered. ( I may have even asked this question myself, with all of my confusion with this I can't remember)
