Hi. BryanHenson1

I would like to help you.

To help you a little more with this bug, what kind of error it shows as information since what you indicate may be that a corrupted or malicious file damages your USB flash drive.

In the same way, you can use the error checking tool, this tool integrated in the Windows system to check and correct errors of the device.

If you have access problems on your hard drive, USB, SD card or file folders, you can follow the steps below to correct the "Access Denied" error on your device now:

1. Connect an inaccessible device, such as a hard drive, an external hard drive, an SD card or USB with a PC;

2. Open this computer> Right-click on the file folder or your inaccessible device and select Properties;

3. Select Tools> Click Check> Browse drive.

If your problem is already resolved, you can access your device and directly open the unit.

Another option is to obtain permissions to Hard Disk, USB, SD Card or Inaccessible File Folders:

1. Right click on the hard drive, USB, Micro sd or file folder and select Properties;

2. Go to Security> Edit;

3. When opening a new window, click on your user name in Group or user names;

4. Check all the boxes in the Allow column and click OK, and then click Apply to obtain permissions and access your inaccessible device.

If these two quick repairs still do not help you, relax!

We offer you 2 options and you can choose one according to your own case.

1. If you have important data on this device, you can try Method 1 below to solve this problem without losing any of your data;

2. If the data is useless, try Method 2 to fix 'Access Denied' error of your storage device (such as USB, sd card, internal or external hard disk) or file folders through formatting.
