Unable to delete/write files to another partitions Recently I installed Linux on my old laptop which was running Windows 10. Every thing went well as expected. But after a while I realized that I was unable to write or delete files from second partition. So, today I will be telling you how to fix such issues. (This fix also works on if you are getting error while mounting your partition "The disk contains an unclean file system") Open up your terminal and execute the following command sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXY where XY is the partition (For Eg:- sda2 or sdb2) You can list your following partitions by executing following commmand lsblk Then mount the partition with the following command sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdXY
