I have an external hard drive connected to my new iMac with files I had on my PC. One of them is the Transfer Wizard file, USMT2.UNC that was created at some point when I had a Dell. When I try to delete it on my iMac, it says it can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted. Any way to get this done? It's taking up a lot of space. Thanks!
Can't remove USMT2.UNC from old machine

If the external hard drive is in the NTFS format then i'm afraid mac cant write/ change the drive natively, you can however read and copy from it.
You can try Mac NTFS-3G drivers from here: NTFS-3G for Mac OS X to overcome this problem.
If you are not going to be using your old PC though, you may aswell format the drive as FAT or Mac OS Extended Journaled.
