Cant delete files

[PCTechBoi]

i have a rpi4 and can delete files.

heres the error: Error removing file /media/pi/Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS amd64/boot: Read-only file system

What are trying to delete files from?

From the file path it seems to be an external drive. If this is the case, and it’s been used for l windows, it’s probably ntfs. Which Linux cant edit

Is it ntfs? 
you can check that by putting it into a windows pc and right click on the drive, then clicking properties.

if it is ntfs, then you need to copy all of the files to another location, right click the drive, and click format. Then choose exact and leave everything else default.
