Lubuntu 18.04 and Windows 8.1 dual boot, cannot delete files in windows from Linux

On a dual boot laptop with Windows 8.1 and Lubuntu 18.04, Partitions C and D are on the same HDD. I can see the D folder under the name Data in /media, and I can access every single file, but I cannot delete nor add anything to it.
If I access it from the Lubuntu GUI file manager, it says that permissions are set to anyone. If I check their permissions with ls -lah I see they are all 777, but I still can't delete anything because it says that it is a read-only file system. I even tried mounting the /media to a folder in /opt but it says that it's not a block device (simple mount device).
After that I tried the "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sda6 /opt/d/" it returned
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.
Any ideas on how I can regain control of my partition? I gotta put up with it for a while before doing a format on it

Also check if Windows fast start up is on. Its in both Windows 8 & 10 and updates will turn it back on again, so you may need to turn it off again, even if you originally did. askubuntu.com/questions/843153/… & askubuntu.com/questions/145902/…

When you leave Windows, do you select "Hibernate" ? If so, it can lock up that drive, just like Windows 'fast start'.
