    Its owned by root, you probably extracted the files with a command prefixed by sudo so the files created are root owned. You can also use:
    Code:
    sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/ovpn_tcp/*
    sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/ovpn_udp/*
    To change the ownership to your user, then do what you need with them.

    Those are folders. Are you sure you want to delete them? Have you tried:
    Code:
    sudo rm -r <foldername>

    Either extracted using sudo or moved/copied as root/using sudo
