I tried adding the delete option to Nautilus, as well as running the

find . -name "*Booklist.html*" | xargs rm -f
I've tried all of this as root with no results.

I select a few using the mouse, select the "move to trash" menu item,

So, just how do I delete files from the external drive!
I dunno about that problem (do you own the files you're trying to
delete?), but if you want to delete files, try using a delete command
rather than "move to trash, then empty trash." Have you done the "empty
trash" step, too?
I always set the option to show an actual delete command in the Nautilus
file browser. If I actually want to delete files, then messing around
with the trashcan is a timewaster.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.

Is your disk mounted read-only ? Can you make new files on it ?
