rm

[Michael]

I ran fsck. It just returned through. So then I reformatted it with
gparted. So all is well (I guess). I did have to restart the computer after
the reformat though (don't remember why) but everything seemed okay. Oh
yeaaaaa! I think I had to restart it because it would not unmount and I
figured I would try to restart it and if it would gracefully do so it would
be good. And it did and upon restart the drive auto mounted.
