  3. For some reason, I'm getting this weird "EXTRA" folders and files to which I'm denied access. What is the possible reason that this is happening?

    Hi Yashaswi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

    An "Access Denied" error message can occur for one or more of the following reasons:

    • The folder ownership has changed.
    • You do not have the appropriate permissions.
    • The file is encrypted.
    I would suggest you to refer the below Microsoft article on ""Access Denied" or other errors when you access or work with files and folders in Windows" and see if this helps in resolving the issue.

    "Access Denied" or other errors when you access or work with files and folders in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Note: Steps for Windows 8/8.1 applies to Windows 10 as well.

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
