    Remove read only from files

    Hi,

    Read-only is a file attribute, or a characteristic that the operating system assigns to a file. Files can be only opened or read with this attribute active. You cannot delete, change, or rename any file that’s been flagged as read-only.

    To change the read-only attribute, follow the steps below:


    • Right-click the file or folder icon that you wanted to modify.

    • Remove the check mark by the Read-Only item in the file’s
      Properties
      dialog box.

      The attributes are found at the bottom of the General tab.

    • Click Apply then OK.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.
