hi thang mo,

thanks post.

the lock icon means folder or file has limited user access. , if there no issue user access, can safely ignore lock icon.

in order remove icon, can try add authenticated user group under security tab. hope helps.

for more information, may refer following thread discussed same issue.

how lock icon on folder come off?
