  2. failed to enumerate objects in container, access is denied

    I've gone through the steps that are supposed to allow me to delete a folder but when I get to this step:

    Cant give self permissions to folders or files "Failed to enumerate objects in the container" [​IMG]

    The box at the top does not appear on my screen just the one at the bottom. Clicking the bottom box and continuing does not give me the permission I need to delete the folder. What else can I try? Thanks.

    Failure to enumerate objects in the container Access denied

    Hi Steve,

    In Windows 10, we can set our stuff public or private by permissions. And it’s easy to set on the file’s properties. But sometimes, when you want to change its permissions, some error occurs. Failed to Enumerate Objects in the Container. But take it easy,
    here we are going to tell you the quick and effective way to fix it. Kindly follow the steps below to change the settings:

    • Right-click on the file or folder you want to change its permissions, then choose Properties.
    • Click Advanced under Security pane.
    • Click Change.
    • Type your user name in the box, then click Check Names and OK.
    • Check this two items: Replace owner on sub-containers and objects & Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object, then click OK.
    • If prompted by Windows Security, click Yes.

    Now you can change permissions for your files normally now.

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.

    Regards.

    Failed to enumerate objects in the container

    Hi

    after last update of Windows 10 1709, i tried to update Safe in Cloud and during installation comes out Failed to enumerate objects in the container.

    I am admin in my pc and i have tried to change ownership again to the folder but when i try to extend the changes to subfolders, the message "failed to enumerate objects in the container" comes out.

    I have contacted Safe in cloud which replied saying is a Windows issue.

    Any advice?

    Thanks
