Locked folder that can't be removed?
Hello Forum members, I have a folder that was sent to me by a client a couple of years ago that I can't remove from my Dropbox. The folder has a grey padlock on the bottom left corner and also an X ...
enjayare, may be something else have happened. Probably immutable flag have been set. If so, you can trow it out using: "sudo chflags nouchg /Users/njrcon/Dropbox/Tender\ -\ 160\ Brook\ St\,\ Coogee" and/or "sudo chflags noschg /Users/njrcon/Dropbox/Tender\ -\ 160\ Brook\ St\,\ Coogee". Try it, just to be sure.
Finally give the result from "ls -lO /Users/njrcon/Dropbox/Tender\ -\ 160\ Brook\ St\,\ Coogee" or just take a look on get info window to check is "Locked" is still checked.
I am not an expert with this sorry but I think you need to go to applications, then utilities, then terminal to enter the filename etc.
Hi, the following worked for me:
Typing " sudo rm -r " in the Terminal and thereafter dragging the folder from the Finder into the Terminal to get the path - worked to delete the locked files and folder.
Thank you!
That is great glad I could be of assistance for you.
