I have copied a large number of files from a Windows PC and transferred them to an Apple computer Which has all worked well however now want to delete them to free up more space. From what I understand the device is formatted for Windows and read only on an Apple computer. Whats the easiest way to do this. Should I connect to a Windows computer to delete files? Do I need to reformat the portable hard drive which seems a bit complicated as I will lose peripheral information too? I am no computer genius so whats the easiest way?
Hello,
If the drive is formatted for Windows you will only have permission to read files,
If you want to delete files from the drive you will have to connect it back to a PC.
Thanks! Angela
