    Cannot delete files, permission/encryption issue


    I recently installed Phantasy Star Online 2 with Microsoft Store. The application has caused me permission issues for the second time involving this game.


    The issue both times has begun with when the I execute the game file, nothing happens at all. I approached the executable file from all angles and nothing works. I go to the Microsoft store and it says "Play", also having no effect. I reset the store and nothing changes. I reset the computer and nothing changes.


    The brass tax issue here for me is deleting the files to regain the space. The first time I solved this issue was with manipulating the permissions error caused by Microsoft Store's creation of the files with Trusted Installer. I went to the security tab of my WindowsApps and changed the permissions to "Patrick-PC\Patrick". I was then able to delete enough subfiles for the Store to recognize it as corrupted and offer me the Reinstall option Install is the ONLY option given at any other time.


    This time the files have grown more resilient. They are learning. Permissions editing helped nothing. I own all o the files and subfiles, yet I still need permission from myself to affect these files. I have opened command prompt and typed "whoami" with the same result of "Patrick-PC\Patrick", the user I need permission from. I have tried to delete the files with Unlocker. I have tried to delete the files with and without confirmation via command prompt open with my user and "Open with Administrator". All files in every sense are denied access. Screenshots provided.


    A recent search told me the files might be encrypted. They are. When I attempt to decrypt the folder and subfiles it tells me it cannot be done. I looked at the certificates for the decryption, both fields are blank. There are no permissions to decrypt the files and consequently no "Add..." button.


    Whether any of these have to do anything with each other I am unsure. I just want to know if there is a solution short of formatting the whole thing.


    WHY

    :)

  2. cannot access file/or permissions

    I have a file i need to run on Windows 7 Home Premium. I get the error message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    So I right click and choose Properties to access the permissions but I cannot. In the Security tab I get a message saying, " You do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings.".

    Next I boot into the Windows 7 Hidden Administrator Mode - and even with this I get all the same error messages.

    Please help me as I really need to run This file.
