Default Can't Delete System Volume Information

I've got some USB flash drives that have System Volume Information folders on
them. I want to delete this folder, and all within, but even when I remove
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?

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.
