deleting "write-protected" files

How??? I got at least over 500 files in this one folder that are all writeprotected and i cant delete them. I have already tried command prompt and safe mode but to no avail. Any thoughts on this?

you have to use the command prompt and change them from being read-only.

I've read how to do it, but it still doesnt change it. It just says "file is not re-readable" or something like that.
