Anybody else notice that the SD cards are write protected? If I take out my card and put it in a card reader on my laptop, I can add stuff to the card, but I can't delete anything. If I put it back in the phone and mount the sd card, I can edit the card how I want. weird?
 
as op posted I can edit on my phone just fine, its when I take the card out that it tells me the card is write protected

EDIT: figured it out. I forgot I had an adapter that was broken. the little switch on the side will switch to lock everytime I plug it in

I have purely signed up to this forum to say thank you, i have been sitting here for hours trying to work out y i carnt delete anything. You got furthur than me tho, lol.

Thanks again!
