Good Morning, I'm trying to Normalize my "D:" Partitation's state after replacing Windows 10 with Ubuntu 20.10... it shows as Microsoft basic data and I can't touch any Folder or File in that Partition (/dev/sda5: Permission denied)
For example: When i try sudo rmdir "DumpStack.log.tmp"
rmdir: failed to remove 'DumpStack.log.tmp': Read-only file system
I tried the following Method (Which didn't work): https://askubuntu.com/a/1148959/1067284 https://askubuntu.com/a/809251/1067284
The result of sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda5 Command:
Mounting volume... The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
FAILED

- Please note that I didn't remove those Partitions(Windows recovery environment and Microsoft reserved) while Ubuntu Install-Process because I was thought that Ubuntu is going to replace it...

Please guys the only thing I want is to change it back to a normal partition with Read/Write permissions. Really I needed the data on this partition!
ro. I've no idea why and how you're mounting it but there's something wrong going on here. Try checking available solutions google.com/search?q=ubuntu+windows+partition+mounted+read+onlysudo mkdir /media/win; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sda5 /media/winMount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
