Windows 10: Destination Folder Access Denied: You need permission to perform this action Never goes away

Hello,I am trying to copy a folder into another folder in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, I know the risks involved with doing this and I am sure I want to continue. However, no matter what I do, this "Destination Folder Access Denied" error never goes away. I have given myself ownership of the folder in WindowsApps and set "everyone" permissions to full control. I have also turned off read-only. No matter what I do, this error keeps popping up.How do I allow myself to copy something into a sub-folder of WindowsApps?

Destination folder access denied - You need permission to perform this action

I have just purchased a new PC and have connected an external hard drive to it, which I also used on my old PC.

I am trying to copy a file to the external hard drive from the new computer's C drive but every time I get the message "Destination folder access denied - You need permission to perform this action".

I am the owner and the administrator of both the new computer, the old computer... in fact, everything! How can it deny me access and how can I solve this problem?

 

Destination folder access denied - You need permission to perform this action

Thanks for your help but I think I have managed to resolve the problem. It seems the steps required are a little different in Windows 10 to earlier versions of Windows.

Here are the steps I followed (this is pasted from another Microsoft forum):

1. Right click an affected folder.

2. Click Properties.

3. Click the Security tab

4. Click the "Advanced" button.

5. Click "Change" next to Owner.

6. Type your username, click the "Check Names" button, then click OK.

7. Check "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" under the owner's name.

8. Click OK again. If you get a message saying "Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?", click "Yes" and you're done.

9. Click the "Edit" button.

10. Click on your username from the list.

11. Check "Full control" underneath it.

12. Click OK.

13. Click OK again.

Repeat with all of the problematic folders.

 

Destination Folder Access Denied - You need permission to perform this

Hi group. Working with Windows 10. I have a WD MyCloud Hard drive on my network.

I am able to view all of the folders and files on my MyCloud but I cannot create new folders in it and I cannot drag and drop files to the hard drive or rename files because is giving the "Destination Folder Access Denied - You need permission to perform this Action" error window.

I have googled this issue and tried several youtube tutorials to fix this but it will deny permission to change the credentials.

So now I turn to you, the experts for help. Please walk me through this. I spent an hour on the phone with WD MyCloud technical to find that the problem is a windows problem and not the MyCloud.
