I have Webroot for a few years and now all of a sudden I can’t delete any files from a memory card.  The only choice for deletion is through Webroot when I right click.  It asks me if I want to “permanently erase with Webroot”.  When I choose “yes” nothing happens….

Hello @Rchalecki 

 

Maybe it’s not Webroot? If you don’t need the files on the Memory card then try to Format it as that is what I would do.

 

Right Click on the Memory Card and click on Format!

 

 

HTH,

It is Webroot because I used to use Windows Explorer to right click on a file and the delete choice would appear.  This is a memory card that I use with a trail camera and I don’t always want to delete all the photos.

Webroot gives me the choice to delete a file, but it doesn’t work.

Thanks,

Problem solved.  It seems that the memory card went into the secure data mode without the switch being operated.  I used a different memory card and everything worked fine.
