I created a folder in my workplace's domain. I am not the Administrator, so if I set any restrictions for Everyone it applies to me too. If I create another set of permissions for Owner (me), the restrictions are overridden by the ones applied to Everyone.
Is it possible to set permissions for "everyone except owner"? I am ultimately trying to prevent anyone but me from deleting things from the folder.
If I set any restrictions for "everyone", it applies to me too.
This is correct. Deny permissions always override allow permissions, regardless of the user or group to which they apply. The only way you could employ deny permissions to prevent "everyone but you" from deleting items from your folder would be to create a security group that every user account on the domain is a member of except you. Unless you have a very small domain this isn't feasible. The correct way to solve your problem is to not grant the unwanted permissions to other users in the first place.

Set your permissions as follows:
Everyone: Read & Execute
You: Full Control
Everyone identity as follows:
Collected from the Internet
