I can't delete files in my old ntfs partition from when I had windows. [fedora, kde plasma] {EDIT: I messed up}

This laptop has one hard disk with two partitions. One of them has a bunch of data. I can't delete the data at all, dolphin(the file manager) gives a "not enough permissions error". When I try to delete stuff with rm it displays this:

rm: cannot remove 'filename': Read-only file system

What do I do?

EDIT: I backed up the data and reformatted the partition. This completely broke my install and fedora wouldn't open at all. I popped in a live USB, backed up some other stuff and I am reinstalling fedora right now (writing this from the live installer :P)

  • Probably you shut down Windows incorrectly so now it's locked. If you still have Windows installed, try to restart it. If not... well, i would just copy all files to another storage and format NTFS.
