Hi, I have an .app file on a USB Drive that I can't seem to delete, I have looked at the Get Info window and everything to do with permissions is greyed out, although it does say I have read/write permissions in grey.
Anyway taking some advice from another forum I went into terminal and tried this code:
but it just said after each file in the package that it was read only and didn't delete it. So how can I change the permissions?
I would like to add that I dont want to reformat the drive because I'm pretty sure there are some hidden files on there and the drive is actually a mobile broadband modem, but does have a little storage capacity on it. I dont want to run the risk of deleting files that might make the modem work.
