Hi,· How is the image of the lock? Does it look like BitLock?· What is the exact error message you receive?You may try to give permission to the file in the external drive & then try to delete the file.a. Navigate to the location of the file.b. Right click on the file and select ‘Properties’ from Context Menu.c. Click on Edit button in Properties windows Click ok to confirm UAC elevation request.d. Select user/group from permission windows or click Add to add other user or group.e. Now under Permission section check the rights which you want to grant i.e. check ‘Full Control’ under the ‘Allow’ column to assign full access rights control permissions to Administrators group.f. Click Ok for changes to take effect and click ok final ok to exit from Properties window.Hope the information helps.
