When i right click the "new folder" option is greyed out and if i delete anything this error comes up: You do not have sufficient permissions to delete file x.. Error removing file: Read-only file system.

Where are are you trying to make a new folder? New system folders require root permission. If you are making a new folder in your home folder then that option should not be greyed out.

It's best to make a new partition, label it 'Data', then move all your data folders/files to this partition. That way, it's easier to back up your data and keeps it separate from Linux system files and user partition configuration files.

It's best to make a new partition, label it 'Data', then move all your data folders/files to this partition. That way, it's easier to back up your data and keeps it separate from Linux system files and user partition configuration files.
