Hello

You can not move or delete files from windows partition in Linux but you can copy them. ( If your security level is set to more than standard I guess it is the case ).

Just try to copy not to move.

cheers!

Maybe your problem is the folder permission.

You could be allowed to read files but not to copy them.

You must add this to your /etc/fstab, in the section of the windows fs: umask=000 .

If the fs type is ntfs, you cannot move or delete things. I'm assuming it's fat32, fat16 or fat.

Note: You should reboot to test it out. Hope it works
