How to prevent files from delete but edit allowed

Hi. I have a folder with five files stored in it. I am sharing the folder and I don't want any the five files to be deleted by everyone, but they can update/edit a file named FORM.xlsm. I did this through the Security options of the folder Properties. My problem is, when the FORM.xlsm is updated, saving is not allowed. What did I miss? Image of the Permission window is attached. Thank you.

Right-click on your file and select Properties.
You'll be in the General tab by default. At the bottom of your screen, you'll find an option saying Hidden. Tick-mark the option and click on OK.
