This is another bit of digital insanity that I am trying to resolve!.

When I went to "DELETE" photos on my SD memory card, I get the message:
"WRITE PROTECTED" and thusly, I simply could not delete those photos from my
SD card.

I"m assurming there's a simple way to delete these photos from the SD card, but I"m
not familiar with this solution.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks...

Look at the memory card, there's a little toggle that locks the card. Try moving out the other way.

Yep!.....that did it!.....and I'll never know how that little "doo-hicky" got moved in the first place!...but, It worked and I feel like an idiot not knowing that a simple movement like that would solve this ridiculous dilemma. Thanks again......

Don't feel that way at all. That toggle is most definitely in that category of "if you don't know to look for it, you'll never find it." I normally get a customer every other week that has that problem.
