EX. chown -R matt:mattgrp /the/path/to/your/SDcard @Jashawn Ram:

Becoming su and using the command rm -f filename worked. I am using an mp3 player as a card reader to transfer files between computers (one Red Hat 7.2 and the other FC3), and I have never had this problem (not being able to delete a file just by clicking and choosing "move to trash") before. It is very odd. I have not changed permissions on any of the devices. It is not the card reader (i.e. mp3 player) because I had the same problem with 2 different ones. Do old SD cards often do this? Mine isn't even that old and does not get heavy use. Thanks again for all the useful advice. Thanks! Becoming su and using the command

To turn off the write protection on your mini SD, simply do not lock your mini SD in its adapter.
