Can't delete files or folders on partition

Source: askubuntu.com --- Monday, October 02, 2017
I have an NTFS partition. The idea is I can use this for data on either Ubuntu Mate or Windows 10 dual boot. It worked fine when I first installed Mate, but recently I no longer have the delete option when I right-click on a file or folder. The delete key does nothing. I also can't paste into the partition (Paste greyed out). It's as if the whole partition is read-only. In Gparted, the partition is marked with a key. Does this mean anything? I'm not aware of having changed anything, however, Windows recently did a big update - have they hijacked my drive? I've read related posts, but people speak of returned errors - I have no errors, just nothing happens. Also, suggested solutions seem far too technical for what must surely be a simple tick-a-box fix! Please note - for me the Terminal is where I get off a train and Sudo sounds like a Japanese noodle dish. ;) GUI's preferred if possible! Thanks for your patient help! ...
