Recursively Unlock Files in OS X

Wednesday, 17 February 2010

Got a folder full of folders full of locked files in OS X?

  1. Open a Terminal window, type cd and drag the folder containing the locked files into the Terminal window, then press Enter
  2. Type chflags -R nouchg * and press Enter

All files and folders there should now be unlocked. More information at this OS X Hints article.
