delete files from ntfs partition

Hi everyone, I installed this distribution on my old PC and now I realized that I can't delete files on another partition of the same PC. Is there a way?
Thanks.

Re: delete files from ntfs partition

Please describe your problem more precisely, we cant guess. Do you just don't know how to delete them? Do you get an error message? Do you want to keep that partition formatted as it is or to reformat it?

Re: delete files from ntfs partition

on my PC there are two partitions, the operating system is installed on partition C, while all my old documents are on partition D
formatted in NTFS. I can see and copy these files but there is no command to delete them. I would like to keep the partition as it is, is there a method? thanks

From the command line you can use `rm <filepath>` and from a file explorer like Dolphin you can browse the desired folder, select one or more files and/or directories, right click and choose Delete or Send to Recycle bin.
