Hi, sorry for my english.
I'm using sparky gnome and I was trying to make the trash (recycle bin) can work from any unit, either ext4 or ntfs. Something I've touched and now I can not erase anything from any ntfs drive, ext4 drives fine, I even have a file in the trash can not delete it.
I use two users, one of them is the root user, both of them with different passwords.
I would like two things; can delete files from any ntfs unit and that the trash can work in any ntfs unit too.
Thanks

Use Ctl-Shift-V to copy from terminal. The normal Ctl-C to paste into browser.
If ownership (paxmark owns in the above case) is incorrect remedy with "chown" for how to use - see "man chown"
You might have to use "sudo chown Blah:Blah Bleh:Bleh"
Thanks @paxmark1 for your help.

In Data and Data1 I can not delete anything.
Your ownership looks good - hopefully others have some other ideas. I do not have a Gnome DE and do not have any ntfs directories.
Sparky4 or Sparky5?
Can you delete from the command line as arturo ? If you feel comfortable doing it can you remove the trash files as root?
If you have some usb sticks you might want to check out /media.Arturo/LabelOfUsb/.Trash-1000/files and see if you can delete fat32 files if you have any trash there.
Quick search on my end, old posts here and there. Only one interesting was

Thanks.

Is incredible, I created an ext4 partition in a space that was free on the disk and I can not write on it either.
Neither as root nor as arturo can I erase anything in the ntfs partitions ... and now neither in the ext4 that created new.
I do not have ntfs partitions for using windows, I do not use it, I only use those ntfs partitions with linux. This is a nightmare, all this for wanting the Trash to work in all the units of my system.
I started with a live usb of ubuntu mate and it was impossible to delete the file from the trash, neither as user nor as root ....
Problem solved.
Everything has been windows problem, I left the computer to a friend because I had to do something with windows, at the end I did not turn off but suspended the computer and that was what prevented the file from the trash and write in the ntfs units, I discovered it because I have installed another linux and did the same, besides that with ubutu mate in live usb mode I could not delete the file from the trash.
Thanks
