Excellent explanation thanks!

I solved it myself. I suddenly remembered that if you close Win10 with some drives, folders or files open in "filemanager" or what its called, Win10 somehow locks them.

In Xfce I used Thunar and could easily change ownership on new drives so I could write to them or delete from them. But in Plasma there is Dolphin ...

None of the suggestionbs worked out so I took the disk to another machine, found all the files and moved them to a new enviroment. Done

My own idea would be:

Does this look ok?
Or better what ...
