Windows 10: How grant folder from command prompt

Hi
I need to redirect Windows logs folder by mklink command but before creating a link the source folder must be deleted and when I using rmdir command, it reports access denied. To solving this problem I have to change folders permission manually. But I need a command to change it from command prompt before calling rmdir command. I found icacls to changing folder security options but I do not know how set parameters because it is complex command.

Please help


Following is my batch file to redirect some Windows directories:




@Echo OFF

CLS



ECHO *******************************************************************************************

ECHO * This file applies some settings that improves the system performance *

ECHO * and increases SSD life span *

ECHO *******************************************************************************************

ECHO.

PAUSE



ECHO {************ Creating directories redirection ************}



:: Set redirection path to this variable

SET REDIR_PATH="D:\SysRedirection"



IF EXIST "%REDIR_PATH%" RMDIR /S /Q "%REDIR_PATH%"



:: Logs

SC stop "EventLog"

CALL :Redirect "C:\Windows\Logs", "%REDIR_PATH%\WinLogs"

CALL :Redirect "C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles", "%REDIR_PATH%\Sys32Logs"

CALL :Redirect "C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs", "%REDIR_PATH%\EventLogs"

SC start "EventLog"



ECHO {************************** Done **************************}

PAUSE



EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL%




:: This function deletes the source folder and creates a junction link at target


:: Param1: Source folder, Param2: Target


:Redirect

ECHO ============================================================

ECHO Redirecting %~1

ECHO

IF EXIST %~1

RMDIR /S /Q %~1

:: Check if folder exist yet, ask the user to delete it manually

IF EXIST %~1

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

 

Installation media boots to command prompt

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

1. Windows logo on a black screen
2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
5. the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

I am repairing a laptop for a friend and I need to access windows in safe mode and the owner has forgotten the password to the main user. I tried logging on with the administrator profile in safe mode but it is not showing up so I was going to use command prompt in safe mode with command prompt but command prompt will not open when I boot that option. Does anyone have any hints for me to figure this out?
