I have several files that will not delete - in TCMD / TCC / windows 10 Explorer. Does anyone have a script where you pass it a file name and it says the attributes (R,H,S,A, etc) and who has the rights to access the file and what rights those are?

It should be easy enough to make one. You can get the attributes with TCC's @ATTRIB[] (and the owner with %OWNER[]). And you can get permissions with ICACLS.EXE (Windows built-in). In the output below, "I" means inherited, "F" means full, "M" means modify, and "RX" means read/execute. Do ICACLS /? for more info.
Code:
v:\> echo %@attrib[w32tmparams.btm]
___A_____________
v:\> echo %@owner[w32tmparams.btm]

[C:\Users\csgal\OneDrive\Desktop\JV16PT\thursday]Any thoughts?
Not a clue! Are you csgal when you try that? Is OneDrive running? Maybe it locks files. If you have ProcessMonitor (sysinternals) you can monitor file system activity and get a better idea why it failed.
Yes - i am csgal - the only user on this box. not a LAN. I do use OneDrive.
Process Explorer - Sysinternals
Find out what files, registry keys and other objects processes have open, which DLLs they have loaded, and more.
docs.microsoft.com
ProcrssExplorer will tell you only that a file is open.. But it won't tell you the sharing options specified when the file was opened. ProcessMonitor (monitoring TCC) will tell you those options and why TCC failed to open it. Set it up like this.
The name "C:\Backup\Windows\servicing\LCU\Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~19041.1415.1.6\amd64_microsoft-windows-a..g-whatsnew.appxmain_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.746_none_57c8601baf818c0d\f\new360videossquare44x44logo.targetsize-16_altform-unplated_contrast-black.png" is 273 chars long. Maybe it is too long?

I tried Your same commands and I got the same error.
Then I used the subst command "subst p: C:\Backup\Windows\servicing\LCU\Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~19041.1415.1.6\amd64_microsoft-windows-a..g-whatsnew.appxmain_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.746_none_57c8601baf818c0d\f".
And then the command "icacls P:\new360videossquare44x44logo.targetsize-16_altform-unplated_contrast-black.png" worked.
So yes it seems that the path/filename is too long.
With subst You should be able to erase the file or at least check permissions.

How about a BTM that would be of the form:
Code:
for %fn in (@thursday.txt) (
: list name - currently in %fn
: list attributes of %fn
: list owner of %fn
: subst p: %@path[%fn]
: run the icacls p:%@filename[%fn]
: SUBST p: /D
)
