I recently acquired a new Samsung Galaxy S4 with my Vodafone plan. However while I understand that I am unable to delete the default browser preloaded bookmarks it seems that a number of bookmarks that have been created by ME have also somehow become protected and as a result, I unable to delete, rename or move them using the app's standard menu functionality. Can anyone offer an explanation on why these new bookmarks ate now locked or a way of deleting them.

I've never got on very well with the Samsung browser, but there are are alternatives such as Chrome and Firefox and those can sync with what you use on your desktop, too.

 

Have you tried going into Settnigs|Apps (you may have to look under All rather than Downloaded) and tapping on Delete Data?   That might nuke it.
