Fix a Read-Only NTFS Partition on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

ntfs_rw_fix.txt

Open the terminal or Press Alt+Ctrl+t
Paste the Command Below.
$sudo mount | grep <disk_name>

Replace the disk Name with the disk you want to fix i.e, Data
Example: 
$sudo mount | grep Data
Output:
    /dev/sdb2 on /media/utgupta27/Data type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,
    user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2)



Type this on the terminal. Here <sdnx> means your drive address i.e, sdb1,sdb3,sdc1,etc.
<user_name> is your Linux system username
$sudo mount -o rw /dev/<sdxn> /media/<user_name>/<disk_name>

Example:
$sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /media/utgupta27/Data
Output:
    Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
    The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
    could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
    
$sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /media/utgupta27/Data
    The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
    Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
    Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
    unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
    or fast restarting.)
    Could not mount read-write, trying read-only
