Error Deleting File or Folder
Body Text
Cannot delete item : Files on this CD-ROM drive are read-only. You cannot copy or move files over to this CD-ROM drive.
If the file resides on read-only media such as a CD, DVD or Blu-ray, you must select a different drive to save the file.
Some removable drives and media may also have a physical write-protection tab. For example, diskettes have a square hole that when covered, makes the diskette read-only. Some USB flash drives also have a switch to make them read-only.
