Can't delete folder, no matter what I try

Hey there guys,

Thank you all so much for your inputs, advices and suggestions. I would have never let the drive(s) being NTFS in the first place, if there wasn’t critical data on it which I definitely needed to preserve after coming from Windows.
But I know for sure, that this is far from ideal.

May it be as it is.

I was now able to finally resolve the issues by:

  • Creating a live bootable Windows USB stick
  • Booting into it and performing chkdsk /f on all my NTFS drives
  • The check found a bunch of errors and successfully corrected them

After being back in Manjaro the issues are all gone, including the problematic file that I wasn’t able to delete.

Solved - with all of your help! Thank you so much :heart:
