Deleting windows files booting from mint(usb)

Hello as the title states I am attempting to delete some windows files. I moved a gaming drive over to my new computer(m.2 sata ssd) and it has a WindowsApps folder on it I wish to erase. I attempted taking ownership in windows and deleting but no luck.

When I was in Mint, the graphic file system would not delete them for me., at first it said permission denied so I attempted to take ownership after which it claimed it could not delete because the directories were not empty.

I attempted in the command line with command sudo rm -rf ./directory/ and sudo rm -rf directory/ both having the system tell me the directories were not empty... I know I want to delete everything.

please help.

Thanks.

Click on the partition you want to remove, then click the small minus button at the bottom of the window."
