Your Flash Drive may be like the error message said "write protected", meaning that you can read but you cannot write. At some workplaces, Administrators will place a read only policy to prevent company secrect etc... from being downloaded to removable devices. If this error occurs on a personal computer, logon as an Administrator, find the device in My Computer, then right click it, select properties, on the security tab you will see a list of names; users that have allow or deny permission set on your device.
Select Edit, If you see your username in the list click on it.
If your username is not on the list click the add button and add it.
You will see under the list of username a list of permissions, on the allow side click full control, then Apply / Ok.
You should now be able to read and write as you have full control over the device.

How do you delete folder in the CD?
It depends on what kind of files are in the CD's folder. If it's a CD that was purchased with software in the folders, you probably cannot delete the folder as the files within it are write-protected against accidental deletion. If the CD is something you created and your account has full rights to the files within, you should be able to delete the folder. If it gives you an error that the folder cannot be deleted because it is not empty, delete the contents first, then the folder.
