You just need to get over this idea that disk brakes are supposed to be "completely disengaged". They don't work like that.
The pads lightly touch the rotors at all times.......or come VERY VERY VERY close.
Because of this, dirt, sand or even brake dust can make a grinding or squeeking noise.
There is no adjustment. They are , by design, self adjusting.
