Hello Cindy. Hello group. Thank you for you email. Sorry, I did it in a bad way describe. I put the USB stick in, and I can see all files on the USB stick. But I cannot destroy them.

Following tips regarding hiberfil.sys fixed it both times for me, but the method comes with a harsh "this is your last ditch option" warning about things like that data loss. That's on a non-Linux system, by the way. Linux triggered the second episode while while the affected partition was mounted only as a resource for backing up images. It wasn't mounted as an operating system. There's a recovery partition that keeps getting mounted even though I'm not touching it this week. I can't help wondering if that plays some part in how that partition ended up locked down when it wasn't used as the primary operating system..
