Hello, I just recently bought a macbook pro and from my old laptop I put all my files onto a Western Digital External Hardrive to transfer over to my new macbook. Once I was done transferring files, I wanted to delete them from my external hardrive but it won't let me. I can't even move them to the trash on the computer; it just doesn't let me delete them. When I right click (two tap) on the computer, there is no option to delete either. Can anyone help me with this issue? I'd really appreciate it!

Open the drive on your computer by double clicking on the appropriate drive in the 'My Computer' folder or selecting the 'Open Folder to View Files' option from the Autorun utility. Browse through the files to find the ones you want to remove. To delete the files, right click the file or folder and click 'Delete' from the drop-down menu.
