How to Delete Duplicate Files in a Read Only Folder

When Duplicate Zapper detects a duplicate file in a Read only folder, a lock icon will be visible next to the file path.  A file with a lock icon will be unavailable to check and Zap.

In order to Zap duplicate files in a Read only folder, the permissions for the folder must be changed to Read & Write.  To do this, right-click on the folder and select Get Info.
