Methods to Remove the Lock Icon in Ubuntu Folder

Since the items downloaded under root privileges have a lock symbol under normal users, although everything can be operated and used under root, as long as you switch to the root account for operation, it's still awkward to look at. How to remove it?

1.Some netizens said that using

sudo chmod -R 777

 Not to mention that there may be risks, isn't this trivial? Changing the file recursively to read, write, and execute permissions, of course, there will be no locks.

But this will change the original file permissions.

2.You can copy it to a computer with Windows...呵呵,of course, the permissions under Linux will naturally disappear.

3.Use the command to change the group user of the file 

sudo chown your_username filename  

 For example: 

sudo chown jack common 

  It has been proved that this is possible, but this only changes the group of the common folder, and the files or folders inside it are still locked. Therefore, 

sudo chown jack common/ -R  

If the directory inside the file cannot be recognized, execute

sudo chmod 777 common 

Change the file access permission mode to drwxrwxrwx

Command Difference:

chown root .android<span style="font-family: Songti; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);>Change file ownership to root</span>
