Windows 10: Lost permission access to a folder on my E drive. How do I regain permissions?

I went to install Photoshop from their creative cloud app thing. I changed the location to install on my E drive HDD. I successfully had it installed on my C drive initially but uninstalled a few months ago. The install failed. When I went to the folder the install dumped a bunch of Photoshop files. I was unable to create a new folder and I was unable to delete files.





I ran a few cmd commands





I tried setting permissions but it didn't work.





I gave permissions to Users, Administrators, and whatever the other 2 entities are





I performed a drive check





And another cmd prompt





I can add new folders, edit, delete, c/p files into the rest of the E drive. I just cannot do anything with the E:\Apps folder which stores all of my important program files.


How can I fix this?

Windows reports "You don't currently have permission to access this folder".

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. I understand the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.

• 
  Does this happen only with a specific folder/file location?
  

This problem results when an administrator, the owner of the file or folder, or a user with the Change Permissions permission for a file or Full Control permission for a folder, changes the access control list (ACL) on the file or folder. Some of the
changes that could deny a user access to a file or folder they should be able to access include:

• The user or group was unintentionally removed from Group or User names on the file's or folder's Security tab.





• An explicit Deny has mistakenly been applied to the user or group.





• A conflict between share permissions and NTFS permissions was created when someone changes permissions without examining both types of permissions.



Method 1:

Let’s give permission to the folder and check if that helps. Follow these steps to give permissions to the drive.

a) Right-click on the folder which you’re unable to access and select Properties.

b) Click on ‘Security’ tab and under ‘Group or user names’ click on ‘Edit’.

c) Click on ‘Add’ and type ‘everyone’.

d) Click on ‘Check names’ and then click ‘OK’.

e) Select ‘everyone’ and under ‘Allow’ select
‘Full control’ and click on ‘Apply’ and Click ‘Ok’.





Method 2:

I would suggest you to try the steps in the article and check if it helps.

(Try the steps for Windows 8 as it is applicable to Windows 10 as well.)



Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us with more information and we’d be happy to help.
