Can you unwarp a warped brake disk (floating)

As the title says:
I have a set of teardrop floating brake disks and the front one apparently is warped, because I can hear it rubbing. Also when I apply the front brake it actually feel like it catches on the high spot more than the low. Gives it a vibration feeling.

Sometimes the buttons - if it has buttons? - will freeze up. Usually after washing at a car wash. Maybe it is the harsh soap they use there? IDK. The rotors can get locked in a screwy position - not floating and feel like they are warped. You could try putting an allen wrench or screwdriver in the button holes and exercise them - move the buttons around to free them up. If you are careful not to get the rotor surface you can put a SMALL amount of wd40 or similar to help out - getting any excess off of there. It is worth a shot before replacing your rotors.

I always thought it to be a dumb question, and was about to pull the trigger for a new set of disc at 140 bux a shot.
So glad I asked. Can't believe I rode with that awful sound and feeling. This thing rides so smooth again. Like night and day.
Once again, Thanks..........................
