Basically you delete with: rm filename , which is really rm -i filename as aliased in /etc/profile.
You also need permission on the file or you can do: sudo rm filename to invoke root permissions.
Also you need the partition to be read/write, easiest to right-click desktop icon and select: "Change read/write mode" or some such.
If you want to delete a directory with files in it do: rm -rf directory_name (be a bit careful with -rf)

1. Be root.

2. Use ' mc ' (Midnight Commander)
o "Insert" key tags multiple files; F8 key to delete them.

3. If you are trying to delete files from an NTFS partition, I believe you have to run the "captive" driver 1st.
