   I just realized the difference of what everyone is saying.  An Unmovable
file is a file that CAN be moved but you are telling SD *not* to move.  A
static file is a hidden, read-only, or system file or directory.  That
might clear some of the confusion.  You can clear the Unmovable files, but
the Static files have to have the hrs bits removed.
