"File(s) were not processed as they are Protected"

Post by Ishay Shavit /Israel »

I'm getting the above message, and files are not deleted by DC, even though the marked file(s) can be deleted by other utilities.

Despite this - I like very much this utility and would like to use it as my default one - once I'll be able to delete the files.

Here's a directory listing, showing that the file and its directory is not hidden/system/read-only.

Try unchecking the 'Protect DLL/EXE files' option in the Options menu.
