This all depends on at least two factors: the operating system you are using and the file system of the memory card. Write protected information cannot be erased. However in some cases a reformat will do the job because technically that is not writing to the disk. But removing write protection should not be a difficult process. There is normally a switch of some sort on the outside of the card that can be moved into one of two positions (this is the write protection).
