Did you just try typing “y”? It’s asking you whether you want to override permissions. By the way, I’ve always thought deleting the things behind Time Machine’s back isn’t a good idea because you can sometimes mess up the hard links Time Machine uses to keep track of files. Most of the files you see on a Time Machine volume are really links to files rather than individual files. Time Machine will usually take care of deleting stuff, if it needs more room. When I don’t want Time Machine to use all of a large disk, I make a smaller partition on the disk and point Time Machine at that partition.
