Deleting "write-protected" folders?

Changing the MTC / MSC didnt work for me at all (I tried both). What DID work for me was just to leave it on Auto Mode then navigate to and open the folder in question (via USB on the PC), and delete all the files WITHIN the folder first.

Lets say I had a folder for artist “Big Money”.  I opened the “Big Money” folder, deleted all the files in it. Then I could go back and delete the “Big Money” folder. Not sure why the music (& photo, nfo, etc) files within the folder would keep me from deleting the main folder, but doing this worked. 

Hope this helps somebody…
