I am new to Ubuntu (currently only using it to delete a folder Windows won't let me delete). I am getting the error after typing sudo rm -rf path in the Terminal. How do I fix this? Sorry if this is a dumb question.



EDIT: I did not technically install Ubuntu, I made a bootable drive and selected "Try Ubuntu without installing".
