The only way of removing protected files is to have the GDFS part of the phone reflashed. The only people that might be able to do this is service centres but I doubt any of them will do it for you.

Thanks for the answer

So if they flash the phone this file will be removed and replaced with the original one?

I installed the R2L on line yesterday, I tried to change the theme (Waip) so i replaced it with one that I already got it from the Internet -don't ask why- , but the new file was protected and after many things i've done the name become (Waip_(1)_(1)) and I can't delete it now. I thought if there is any file managing program that i can use it to remove the file or even change it's name.
