| | Deleting Folder on SD Card All of a sudden I cannot delete files off any SD card I put in my Compaq Presario F700. Delete isn't even an option when I right click on the file. This happens with the card from my digital camera and also with the small card in my cell phone which I have to insert into a SD holder. I know I must have clicked something that was a no no. Is there any way to fix this. THANKS!!! |

| | Re: Deleting Folder on SD Card Formatting a card in-camera is best practice and it should be done *every* time the card is inserted into the camera. Any decent DSLR will have a key combination to do it so you don’t have to dig through the menus. If you delete some photos or even all the photos from the card using a computer, the file structure on the card can be compromised when used back in the camera and may affect the writing of new images. ------- *Report back, please* [When responding to posts, please include the post(s) you are replying to so that others may learn and benefit from the issue] [How to ask a question] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Terri" <Terri@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:CC26C181-349B-45B5-B97E-8B40BF14272D@xxxxxx Quote: > All of a sudden I cannot delete files off any SD card I put in my Compaq > Presario F700.

| | Re: Deleting Folder on SD Card I have never formated the card. UGH! When I try to move or delete files, it says that it is write protected. How can I change this? I've never had a problem before.

| | Re: Deleting Folder on SD Card You didn't accidentally move the little slide switch on the card to the "secure" position, did you? -- Regards, BobF.

| | Re: Deleting Folder on SD Card Never having formatted the card could be the cause of your problem. Most if not all cameras strongly recommend you format the card in-camera BEFORE using it.
