Nautilus 3.18.2 doesn't delete files from another partition anymore.

Hello!

I upgraded my system yesterday and now i'm using Nautilus 3.18.2, but i'm can't delete files from my Backup partition anymore.

Part fo my /etc/fstab file:

# /dev/sda6
UUID=7C026AC2026A80CE	/media/Backup	ntfs      	rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096	0 0

When i press Delete key he ask me if i want to delete immediately, i say yes but nothing happens. What is wrong?

Thanks!

I advise that you not use ntfs for backups.  It does not have the same notion of permissions as file systems designed to work with non-toy operating systems

Could you be more specific about your link? I have ntfs-3g installed.
I'm using ntfs because i have Windows 7 in dual boot.

I believe that the file system type should be ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab; not ntfs. 
For backup, NTFS presents problems.  It does not understand user or groups in the same way as extn and other Linux file systems.  Likewise r,w,x,s and softlinks don't work either.  Be careful.

I changed to ntfs-3g but still nothing. I can't only delete them, rename folders/files, create them i do with no problem.

Can you do an rm of the files from a command line?

Yes.

I installed "pcmanfm" and with him i can do all that stuff without any problem. Another thing is, i said i can rename my files, but no. I rename apparently without any problem, but when i restart the system all changes are undone.
