files have attributes... one attribute is "read-only"... Your NEF files are write-protected. You need to change the attribute from "read-only" to "read-write" before you can delete it...

Right-click on a file, I believe from there you can select Properties... and from there you can change the Attribute.

How do I got about changing it?

Right-click the file and choose Properties. At the bottom of the General tab you'll see Attributes and I'm guessing "Read-only" will be checked. Uncheck that.

If you didn't protect the files purposefully there's a chance you accidentally hit the lock button when you were trying to zoom in on the image while reviewing. Happens all the time to me.
