"Untitled DVD" locked - cannot delete?

Hello Folks,

I tried to burn a folder of picture onto a DVD using the building in cd/dvd burning programming on MAC OSX (im not even sure thats' it called) anyhoo... now i am trying to delete that folder but it will not let me it says

"The operation cannot be complete because the item "untitled DVD" is locked...

The question is how can I unlock it to delete it. I can't just drag it into the trash and delete it beacuse it will not work.

Let me know,
Thanks,
-JOey

Use Get-Info (Command-I0 on the folder and uncheck the "Locked" box ("General" section).

I tried the "Get Info" trick but the "Locked" box is checked and greyed out - I cannot unlock the DVD folder - Now what? How do I delete this DVD Burn folder?

Logout, then login. If the folder still won't unlock, click the details triangle at the bottom of the Get-Info window and check the file ownership. Change it to your account if necessary (click the padlock if is locked). Close the Get-Info window and try again.
