Why can't I delete files from my Seagate external hard drive? I can't do anything with the Seagate now - I can't add new files or delete files. It appears to be locked. I have added and removed files in the past but can not do so currently.
Mac Pro
What is format of of the external disk?
My guess is the it is PC format NTFS. A Mac can't natively write to, includes delete, for that format.
I also suspect that this occurred when you updated mac OS. Go to Seagate's support site and get updated drivers.
