Resolved Secondary HDD think it's a backup drive

[Joel95]

My second internal HDD think it's a time machine backup drive. I can create copy and move files, but cannot delete. whenever i attempt to delete anything, it tells me "The operation can’t be completed because backup items can’t be modified."

I cannot unmount the disk to repair it (although i did a disk verify and it was OK)

Should i just go ahead and restore from a few hours old time machine backup? I don't want to because it's late and i have a plane to catch tomorrow morning.

It is resolved now. I realised my user was magically removed from the drive's permissions, so i used terminal to make my account staff. It still didn't work but a reboot did the job.

Time machine options, select another disk or none.

I did that. I even connected my external HDD and time machine knows thats the right drive to back up to. Didn't work.
Thanks for the reply though.
