Doesn't work.The file CAN be opened in VLC or other app when it's a video file, so it is not the file tried several.The files also mount fine on my other PC which has Windows 10.

Error when mounting ISO files

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand when you are trying to delete/rename/move the ISO files after mounting it you get an error message. It could be possible that the ISO file is mounted and that is the reason you are unable to modify it.



I suggest you to eject the ISO file and then try to modify it. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + E, to open
   File Explorer.
   
2. Click on This PC on the left pane, you will find the mounted ISO file.
   
3. Right click on the ISO file and click on Eject. Try modifying the ISO file now.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
