Cannot delete files from previous windows partition

[lorem4ster]

I'm unable do to anything on this hard disk, create folders, add files etc. How can I change that? I want to be able to use my hard disk.

Follow my advice in viewtopic.php?p=1463755#p1463755

Possibly there is a problem, which you created by using root.

I will follow the advice and report back. I thought doing a fresh installation and deleting everything would have solved the issue. I haven't used root access since doing the fresh installation

I figured it out, thank you

Please show also the output of

Code: Select all

ls -la home

Is this alright?

Is this alright?

From content: yes, looks good.

From display: No.
Please copy the output in a terminal and paste it as text in your answer. After pasting mark the output (not other text) and click in the editor window the 5th button </>, called code button. This is especially important for the other output, which might be somewhat longer.

For future reference, creating partitions is an admin procedure, so the partitions created are by default owned by user-root. This is how it works if you use Terminal and also how GParted works. If you want a user to own a partition, chown is the usual way to do that. Disks, on the other hand, generally creates partitions with user privileges (assuming the user has sudo privileges, and so power to create partitions in the first place). That's preferable in some cases and not in others. So, whichever tool you use, you should consider at the end what access privileges are appropriate.

Perfect.
