I'm trying to delete a folder on an NTFS drive mounted to /media/soup/ntfs_d/ but it's resulting in a some strange behavior.
For context, a while ago I deleted some files via Dolphin which apparently put them in some kind of trash directory. When I tried to empty the trash via Dolphin, it resulted in an error saying it could not delete it.
That brings me to now, trying to rm -rf the directory of /media/soup/ntfs_d/.Trash-1000/ with sudo rm -rf /media/soup/ntfs_d/.Trash-1000
which results in:
rm: cannot remove '/media/soup/ntfs_d/.Trash-1000/files/Halo Infinite/disk_cache/gamecmscache':
Directory not empty
Searching on the internet for people with the same issue I've ended up empty-handed.
