How do i delete read only files (0555) on SD card as superuser?

[Android Central Question]

Although i have no problem deleting files in SD card, read only files cannot be deleted.

I tried various file explorers as root with no luck.

I tried to change permissions with root explorer from 0555 to 0777 but it says it cannot change permissions on SD card filesystem.

Is there a solution?

Put the SD card into a Windows computer and delete the file. Windows doesn't even see Linux (which is the Android OS) permissions.
