Recently I have had some issues with some older files having a lock that couldn’t be removed using the info panel.
The issue was two fold, first I had to remove the lock. After searching around I found this command, “chflags -R nouchg.” I typed that into Terminal and dragged the file into the window which removed the lock so I could now at least open the file again.
The next issue was the fact that I was no longer the user allowed to edit the file. Using the info panel I had to add myself as a user and add the permissions “Read and Write.”
I had to do this for about 40 files one by one but at least I could edit the files again.
