To delete a file the user running the web server needs to be able to write to the directory containing the file. Either the directory should be owned by the user nobody and writable by its owner, or in the group nobody and writable by group, or (the most dangerous choice) writable by any user. To change the ownership, you need to be able to log in as the user root.
