Problems handling files

I can't delete, rename, or transfer files to other folders. The system runs on a small SSD disk, and the files are saved on an SD card. This problem began a short time ago. At first sporadically to get worse over time. Thanks you in advance.

Re: Problems handling files

Some guesses:
- missing write permission on some directories on your SD card (how is it formatted: FAT, NTFS, EXT4...?)
- physical write protection on your SD card inadvertently switched ON/OFF (is there a switch on its edge)
- corrupted data on your SD card (need to reformat it)
- damaged SD card (try a different one)

Re: Problems handling files

Have you tried more than one SD card, and are they all having a similar issue?

Re: Problems handling files

Thanks for the tips. The SD card is new and does not have a physical write protection key. It has little space used (28%). I will do the other recommended tests and share the results.
