Problem with USB hard Drive

[jennas]

Hi. I have a huge problem.

I have a USB hard drive (My book) of 1 terabyte. I see a folder on mac os x called " Recycler" and I have to delete it because it contains files that I deleted time ago.

The problem is that I dont have permissions on mac os (I suppose its because the drive is NTFS formated) but i cant see the folder on windows. Please help, I need to delete those files. :(

Your Mac can read NTFS but not write to it without 3rd party software

Check out the various file systems here: MR Guide: File Systems (http://guides.macrumors.com/File_systems)

NTFS-3G (http://www.ntfs-3g.org/) will allow OS X to read/write to NTFS (Windows) and it is free
Install this, and you should be good to go

MacDrive (http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/) will allow Windows to read/write HFS+ (Mac OS X), but it is not free

Thank you very much!
NTFS-3G worked perfectly. I installed it and automatically could delete the folder.

Thank you! :)
