Waow!
That worked fine, really fine. I truly appreciate your advice, really super!!
BTW... if you read the FAQ of Linux File System for Windows...

Paragon Linuxfs-windows-FAQ

specifically the questions:
I have Paragon ExtFS for Windows. Will it be updated?
and
I already have Paragon ExtFS for Windows. Can I get Linux File Systems for Windows by Paragon Software for free?

it appears that Linux File Systems for Windows is the successor of ExtFS.

A product like this deserves more attention I believe.

Again, many many thanks!!

Many thanks!
I'll give that a try. Didn't know it existed...
Also found:
Paragon - Linuxfs-windows

but will give your suggestion a try. Will revert.

Thanks again.

p.s. Just now I also gave Ubuntu a try  (see my earlier post)
after loading I got two choices - proceed a trial (ubuntu will not be installed)
or install.

I selected the trial, a lot of text on my screen and then ... nothing happened
tried it twice.

Very occasional only, it may be 1x or 2x a year.

Living Room / Booting Linux from USB thumbdrive - Linux Explorer

Up front... I have absolutely -no- knowledge of Linux.
Also I do not wish to use Linux, but  -have- to use it for 1 specific task only.

Looking for recommendations as to how to proceed on the following :

I would like to have a USB thumbdrive with Linux and start my pc from USB and running Linux,
then I would like to delete the contents of a Linux formatted (EXT3) external USB drive.

Tried with "LinuxLive USB Creator"  and used "Linux Mint".
However, options to delete files were greyed out, I had no administrator rights.

Any other suggestions?

So: start pc from USB thumbdrive and delete files on an external USB Linux drive.

Thanks!
