[SOLVED] Error while deleting

Hey, I have 2 backup partitions (ntfs) but i can't make changes to them. I've tried to delete and copy and paste files with Terminal, Nautilus and Thunar. Tried to solve this as root too. It just doesn't work.
I get this message:

Error while deleting.
There was an error deleting x
Error removing file: Operation not permitted

Besides, when I mount any partition (and that includes external devices) trash mysteriously fills itself with a few files from that partition. If you unmount the partition a message appears asking something like "Do you want to empty the trash now?"  The files in the trash will disappear only if you accept that.

The wiki will help you out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS-3G

Not sure about the trash thing: what is your DE? Gnome?

Awesome, just installing ntfs-3g with pacman worked. Trash problem was also solved.
I use gnome.
Thanks.
