Can't delete items inside WD HDD on MAC OS-need help

Hi,

I’m facing problem deleting items in my WD hdd [my passport] connected to my iMAC.

The HDD have been Mac formatted which have been using it for more then 1 year plus.

I have been storing data inside but not deleting things inside till today. I realized the HDD is permitted to read only. I can’t overwrite to HDD to Read and Write.

Anyone have any idea how can I set the HDD to Read and Write so that I could edit or delete stuff in from my HDD?

Hello,

Usually this happens when the drive is not formatted for Mac. It can also be corrupted.

I recommend you save the data to another HD and then format this one again.

Thanks for the advise.
