i exported a file to .pdf using xournal on a ntfs partition.
For some reason, it came as a folder with another file inside it. When i tried deleting the folder, it says
'cannot move file to Trash, do you want to permanently delete?'
on clicking yes, it gives me an error -
"error removing file. No such file or directory"

In windows 7, the folder is not visible at all. Only here is it seen. HOW DO I DELETE THIS FOLDER?
I am very new to Linux and ubuntu, please help!

maybe in windows 7 it is hidden? Go to control panel, find folder options and tick 'view hidden files and folders'

its not. I checked it normally and through cmd too.
And that still does not explain the error that comes and causing the file to not be able to delete.
