Hey guys!

I can copy and paste files to and from the partition.

How to delete these folders? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] "input/output error" when running commands on certain folders

What are you using as the kernel driver for the NTFS file system?

It should be https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS-3G

Do you have access to Windows?  If so, try doing a check disk (or whatever it is called now) from within Windows on that drive.  It looks like the filesystem got corrupted somehow, and Linux doesn't really have any good tools to fix ntfs.
