Unable to delete the device, get message that it is write protected

Original title: usb key

Ive got information on a USB and want to remove it, but he says that it is write - protected how can I get rid of the info

Hello

1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

2. What is the full error message that you receive?

Sorry to hear that.

Would be not deleted if the unit is protected in writing or because of malicious content.

I suggest you to reference methods listed below:

Method 1:

a. Click Start, click my computer

b. right-click on the USB drive and select Properties

c. uncheck the read-only option if it is turned on

Note: Click Yes when the option appears saying apply the changes to the files writing to this folder and subfolders

d. click apply and Ok

e. try to delete the files

Method 2: Run virus scan

 

Analyze the computer to remove all possible malicious content.

See the site:

Microsoft safety scanner

http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

 

I hope this helps. If the problem is still not resolved, come back and I'll be happy to help you.

  • Unable to delete the dllhost.exe process that slows down my computer

    Original title: dllhost.exe

    Last week (about 20 October 2014) dllhost.exe began to multiply com surrogate sessions until it slows down or blocks my request. I read through the answers and no address my situation: laptop Asus, Win7 64 bit, with 6 GB of RAM only games that come with Windows MS or MS Word (2007).

    Hi Marystack,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you are trying to access some government site but get message that it uses a protocol not supported. This question might be if you are connected to a network domain, or there is no restrictions applied to surf these sites.

    • Open Internet Explorer.

    • Open Web site which is getting blocked.

    • To open the toolbar, press the alt key pressed .

    • Now, click on Tools.

    • You will see the name of the Web site under Add this Web site, to do this, click Add to add this Web site.

    • Close the window and restart your computer.

    Try it out below mentioned methods and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1

    If the problem persists, try to trust these websites by following the steps mentioned below.

    Step 1: Open the trusted sites

    1. Open Internet Explorer.
    2. Press the Alt key to display the Tools menu.
    3. In the menu, click Tools.
    4. Now, click on Internet Options.
    5. Click on Security tab.
    6. Select Trusted sites.
    7. Click the Sites.

    Step 2:

    Add the trust Web site

    1. Enter the address of the site you want to add.
    2. Click on Add.
    3. Close the open windows of Trusted Sites and Internet Options .
