Deleting NTFS files from OSX

[NikosF]

My system is set up to dual boot (OSX 10.7.2 and Win7).

My Windows drive is full to overflowing, and now after a security update won't boot (not enough disk space).

I can boot into OSX with no problems and was hoping to be able to delete some files from my windows drive.

I can see the files fine, but can't delete because OSX sees them as 'read-only' - so no dice from either Finder, or the command prompt using sudo.

I tried a utility called Paragon to try to get read/write access to NTFS, but it doesn't seem to work - it installed fine, but with it running I can't see the NTFS drive at all (without it I can at least see the drive).

Is there another way to get read/write access to my Windows drive from OSX?

THanks!

It's the little sh*tty things like this that made me left the Windows world and switch to a Mac.

What you can do is boot using the original Windows DVD disc, and then select Repair. This will give you a "dos prompt" and from there, you can delete some files and make room on your C: drive.
