Well, this is quite a basic thing.
I'm trying to make a temporary file but whenever I try to delete it, it gives me Access Denied

Why is this?

Code:

if fs.exisits("test") then
  fs.delete("test") -- Where it says Access Denied
  file = fs.open("test","w")
  file.writeLine('shell.run("CTest")')
  file.close()
else
  file = fs.open("test","w")
  file.writeLine('shell.run("CTest")')
  file.close()
end

Are you using an OS or anything that might modify the fs API on your computer? If not, my best guess is it's a non-CC issue with file permissions on your IRL computer.

no API changes, and my computer file perms were set so computercraft could do stuff

yes i know, i hand typed it in and i wasn't paying much attention. in the actual code it is like that

The only other thing I can think of is the file being open already. If you open a file and do not close the handle, no program will be able to use that file until the computer is rebooted.
