Hey everyone, so i have a rode mic, which i plug in via usb, which laods as a drive... i can copy the files off of it on to my computer... but theres not option for me to delete those files from that drive ' mic ' - any thoughts?
Cheers
So, Your Mic has a built-in Storage, yes? Is it in the File Manager at the left Side shown as a plugged in Drive when connected? And is it shown when You open ''Disks''?
hiya, yeah thats correct... and i can tak ehte files off no problem... jsut can remove...
Is the remove Option greyed out or not in the Menu?
Maybe it's a read-only file system? Can you tell us the model or check the documentation for this device to see if there's any mention about this in particular?
You can also try to check this for yourself. In the applications menu you will find "Terminal". Launch it, and run the following command:
sudo lsblk -pf
This will give you a list of all detected drives. You can probably identify the microphone based on the label column, or storage capacity. When you do, make a note of the first column which identifies the device. With that, you can then run:
findmnt <device>
Where <device> is the path to the device as per the output of the previous command. For example:
Here I have an external drive that I've plugged in. I can find it because it's a 1 TB Toshiba, and I can see that's it's recognized as /dev/sda1 (this is similar to Windows' scheme using letters like C, D, F, and so on).
Then I run the command findmnt /dev/sda1 to see more information about how it's mounted. On the right side there are a bunch of options, the first one of which says "rw" for read/write. Check if yours says the same or "ro" for read-only.
