Bug: When performing a deletion on a write-protected SD card, there is a long wait before reporting an error with no error reason #15551

Description

When attempting to delete files in a write-protected partition, Files seems to try deleting each individual file before ultimately reporting an error. This behavior can be misleading.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Enable write protection (e.g., using the physical switch on an SD card).
  2. Use Files to permanently delete a folder on this partition.
  3. Observe that the progress bar moves slowly as if it's genuinely deleting, but eventually, it displays a deletion failure message.

Requirements

  • When writing to or deleting content in a write-protected partition, an immediate error should be reported instead of attempting to delete each file.
  • When file operations fail, additional error information should be provided.
