However, remember that not every infected JCW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.

Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move JCW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JCW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JCW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
