I've got some USB flash drives that have System Volume Information

the read only attribute, I still can't delete it. When I go back to

see
the
attribute, it's always changed back to read only.

What can I do?



Format it.



Yes, that's another solution. Next time I'll do that.


The folder will simply be recreated the next time you insert the flash
drive into a Windows PC, right?


For the most part, you're right. I just checked about 20 of my flash
drives, and only 2 do not have, and don't reproduce, that file. I did not
knnow this.
