Trouble with drives mounted as folders

[J. Bryan Wehrenberg]

I have 2 drives mounted as folders in my C: drive. I have copied files and
folders into these 2 drives from my old machine. I needed more drive letters
so this seemed a good way to give me the same amount of drive space but not
take up any drive letters. However, all the folders in these 2 drives are
marked as read only. It is not a black check mark in the read only box, but
a grey check box indicating that maybe it is inherited from somewhere? But
I have inheritance turned off for a test folder but it does not go away. I
cannot delete any folders in either of these 2 drives. I can create folders
but then I can't delete them. I can delete files but not folders. I have
tried setting full control for all users for these drives and allowed it to
propogate down through all the files and folders but it doesn't seem to
help.

Any ideas?

Ok, I found the answer to this on my own. The recycle bin does not
recognize mounted volumes therefore cannot delete items in mounted volumes.
To work around you have to hold the shift key when deleting to permenantly
delete the item or delete it from a DOS prompt.
