How to delete notes marked as read only

[UweBast 1]

Some of my notes are marked as read only and I can`t delete them. How can I realize this?

The Option "Move the note into the Recycle Bin" in the context menu ist grey and I can`t choose it.

Is there a option or a possibility to cancel write protection?

Read-only flag is usually something that accompanies notes that have been shared with you. If the sharer has not allowed you to edit then it will be marked Read-Only.

Your favourite search engine will point you to some documentation.

Is there a chance to finde out, who has shared the note with me? And could this person perhaps allow me to edit/delete this note or could he withdraw the share process?

Usually there is a green share symbol ( a person with a +) at the note. Clicking on it shows who shared it with you.

A problem are „orphaned“ notes - notes that were shared and then deleted by the person who shared them. 

In such a case you can’t get rid of it - try to contact support and have them assist.

Many thanks!

In the meanwhile I have solved the issue with the help of the user who shared the note with me.

He has canceled the sharing and deleted the note. Then I was able to delete the note in my account.  👏🤏🍀
