I am trying to delete some files from my microSD card on my Ubuntu 16.04 (I am using MircoSD adapter in order to access my files). However the file system has been changed to 'read-only' and hence I can't delete the files in it.

I tried remounting it read-write (after I read it from here):

sudo mount -o remount,rw '/media/tuxication/MyDrive'

But it says:

mount: cannot remount rw read-write, is write-protected

I tried the other methods mentioned here but none seems to work.

Just to aid you with further details, if I want to format the microSD, it says:

Error wiping device: Command-line `wipefs -a "/dev/mmcblk0p1"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: 
 wipefs: error: /dev/mmcblk0p1: probing initialization failed: Read-only file system
 (udisks-error-quark, 0)

Any idea how I might solve this?

  Does your memory card have any tiny hardware switch which turns on write protection?

  Many adapters have a plastic switch that makes the card read only. If there is one, try to toggle it.

  And if there isn't a switch, then the adapter is more than likely bad. Try a different adapter or get an all-in-one memory card reader.
