Diskpart
If you’ve ever encountered the write-protected error, you may have thought that the SD card is read-only, but it’s not. If this is the case, you can remove the write-protection by deleting its associated attributes and formatting the SD card. Here’s how. First, make sure your SD card is connected to your computer. Next, click the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type diskpart in the text box. You will need administrator credentials to access the diskpart utility. Next, run the diskpart command to list your disk drives.
Once you have done this, you can go to Windows and open the Diskpart utility. It will appear as a program if you are an administrator, but you will need to be logged in as an administrator. This program will prompt you for an administrator account before it will let you run it. Once you’ve run the program, it will format your SD card, so make sure that you have administrator privileges to prevent it from being deleted.

Formatting micro SD card
If you want to use your SD card to store more data and remove write protection, you can try formatting the card to enable write-protection. This will restore the SD card to a factory-fresh state and will remove all the information from it. However, it is possible to recover some data using RePicvid Data Recovery software. To do so, follow these steps:
If you don’t want to use your computer to format your SD card, you can still use the Diskpart tool. This is available for Windows users. After downloading and installing the tool, double-tap “This PC” to open the Command Prompt Window. Type diskpart to run Diskpart utility. Select the drive that contains your SD card and click “Format”. Once the formatting process is complete, the drive will show up as inaccessible.
Once you’ve successfully deleted the data on your micro SD card, you need to format it. You can do this using the Diskpart tool. First, connect your SD card to your computer. Select the appropriate size and click “Format.” Then, click “Diskpart” in the command prompt and click “Format micro SD card to disable write protection” to confirm the formatting. Then, the disk will appear with the write protection disabled and the read-protection disabled.
Clearing read-only attribute for a file/folder
If you want to remove the write protection on a file or folder on your SD card, you need to shift the switch on one side of the device to the opposite direction. If this does not work, there are other ways to remove this protection. To clear read-only attributes, you can use the Windows Run tool to perform diskpart or disklist. If you do not have the Windows Run tool, you can try a command such as diskpart or list disk.
To remove the read-only tag on an SD card, connect the card to your computer. Launch Diskpart on the command line or Windows PowerShell. Type diskpart into the command line and then press enter. Type the name of the disk and the number to see whether it is read-only or write-protected. Click OK when finished. Diskpart will now display the list of disks connected to your computer.

Using DWORD
If you have an SD card that is protected with write protection, you can easily remove it using Windows. Open the disk partition and search for StorageDevicePolicies. If you do not find it, create it using the right-click menu. Then, right-click a blank space and type “dwrp”.
Alternatively, you can use the Registry Editor to remove write protection. The registry editor will be open by default. Just type regedit and click “Yes.”
Changing the DWORD value for write protection on SD cards is a common way to remove the protection on files. However, it is not always possible to edit files that are protected with write protection. If you are unable to access your file, you can use Windows File Explorer to unlock it. Once you remove write protection, you can format the SD card. The formatting process is the same as that of any other type of SD card.
