Public bug reported: I reformatted to NTFS on another computer, I then reformatted to ext4, could not write, then reformatted some and some took ownership, almost always "read only". After all that and always naming it "UbuntuFilesXE" I have a large /media/norvel/UbuntuFilesXE part of like my system. It is root owned and grouped and is over 228GB and rest of like my system is near 40GB now. It is like it is a mounted USB but it is entirely ON like my computer. I was formatting between ext4 and NTFS only on like my Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS desktop on a Lenovo Thinkpad T460. I would like to remove this large storage hog but do not know if it is safe to remove. I have had a freshly formatted AND owned USB named like I mentioned be like "read only" with this. I have a 64 bit OS. I expected to have only USB formatted or changed with minimal computer storage impact, not this.
