Recommended Posts

for whatever reason my thumb drive wont let me delete the files on it. its super annoying because its pretty much full and i want to swap new stuff on it. how do i get rid of the protection? i didnt put it on there, and its my drive so im assuming a hardware issue?

1984 check there isn't a very tiny switch on the side of the thumb drive this, if it's in a certain position, can do that.

 

It can also be caused by removing the thumb drive without using the 'safely remove hardware' icon on the taskbar. In other words things can still be being transfered when you remove it

I'm guessing "davey" is a Star Wars fan :lol:

Of course, isn't EVERYONE???

 

This time it's Obiwan Hazelnut coming through with the solution.

I bet she does gobs of research and has a sharp memory. :)
