    How can I access an encrypted zipped file folder from a previously installed version of...


    I have a zipped file folder of documents on a USB drive that is encrypted. I encrypted it on a previous install of Windows 11. I decided to do a fresh install, and now I can no longer access the folder because the permissions are set for my "previous" user account. Is there any way to decrypt the folder, or am I just out of luck?

    :)

    Folders with zip files

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
    How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?

    Folders with zip files

    just go to the root folder and do a search for all zip files, then select all and extract where you want.

    Hi Stephanie,

    The issue that you're experiencing may be due to a corrupted user profile. We have found a workaround regarding the "Access denied" error. Kindly follow the steps below.

    • Press Windows key + E to open File Explorer.
    • Copy the files that you want to zip.
    • Paste it in the Downloads folder.
    • From there, zip your file. You may follow the steps provided in this
      article      .
