# X_STORAGE_OBJECT_LOCKED

## Means

the object is under retention or a legal hold

## Typical cause

a delete, overwrite or copy onto a key whose retention has not lapsed, or whose legal hold is on, was refused; the stored bytes are unchanged

## Fix

`disk(name).retentionOf(key)` — shows the lock and its retainUntil; write to a new key, or wait until it lapses
