You can try deleting the file while your in Safe Mode. Try booting your PC in Safe Mode first and then delete the file. If it still does not work, the best thing would be installing a third party application like Unlocker to actually delete the file. Unlocker can be downloaded here:

To use Unlocker, simply right-click the folder or file and select Unlocker. If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear. Simply click Unlock All and you are done. Thank you.

Hi,

You have accidentally selected lock option.You need to select unlock option for the same. Press the menu button and then press right/left button to select the protect menu. Then you need to select unlock and that would turn off file protect.

Kindly accept the solution so that i could get the credit for my time.

Thanks and Regards

You have to unprotect it first. It's a bit confusing because the menu item probably only says "Protect..." but it also takes care of unprotecting too. Go into the menu for "Protect..." and navigate to the protected one. Whatever button you press to switch the protected status (it's the SET button on my Canon) you can use it to turn the protection off as well. When you exit the protection mode, you can delete it.

Update! I just tried this on a Samsung S630 - hopefully the process will be similar for you (the camera certainly looks the same). You have to be in playback mode. Press the menu button, and go to Playback. Move to 'Protect' and select that mode. You can navigate through the pictures, and on mine, T(elephoto) locks it, and W(ide) unlocks it. In any case, the on-screen instructions should tell you what key it is.

If this doesn't work for you, don't mark it unhelpful (yet) but say so, and I'll find a user manual for your exact model.

The most common cause for telling you that the card is locked is having the tiny slide switch on the side of the card in the wrong position.
- see photo below:
Set the lock slider to locked or unlocked.

• The down position will enable write-protection, locking the card.
• The up position will unlock the card, enabling you to save and erase data on the card

the tiny slider is labeled with "Lock"

Is the slide switch on the side of the card in the unlocked position? If so, try this...remove the card and the battery...press all the buttons...leave it alone for 20 minutes...insert the card and then the battery...turn it on.

Two possible solutions.

1. Apple users have reported that the switch on the memory cards performs the file lock function in either extreme positions Lock/Unlock. In some cases they have achieved success in centering the Lock/Unlock switch allowing access to the read/write operation of the memory card

2. Connect to PC
Access drive via windows explorer
Right click on drive (MEMORY CARD)
Select properties
Confirm that RO (Read Only) is not selected.
Selected RO
Try reading card
Repeat properties un-select RO
Try deleting files

If not successful card is likely defective

Hope this helps?

try connecting it to your computer so you can view each photo like viewing files then download Unlocker, small program that unlocks files

Download Link: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/unlocker1.8.7.exe

install it

right click on the photo and it will say unlocker try that works for me on anything

Protected pictures cannot be erased using [ERASE],
[SEL. IMAGE] or [ALL ERASE], but they are all erased by
formatting.
• Go to Playback mode in the camera. Select the picture to be unlocked with the left or right arrow buttons, and to remove the protection select ON with the up or down arrow button.

press menu and the trash / delete buttons at the same time. Hold for 3 seconds until it beeps. WALA unlocked:):)
