I could not place the file in editing mode.   Problem was solved by simply re-saving the file under a different name.  I would export the file to a geopackage format.  That is better than the .shp format in most cases.  After that, you should be able to turn on the editing before editing the file.

The problem is when I load a shp file (ie) .shp file and do click the particular file to edit some features like merge or delete , my toggle edit(✏️) is still grey. I tried all the plugins installed and also project --> properties--> data sources and not ticking the READ ONLY option. Kindly figure out the problem. Waiting eagerly for your reply .
