Windows 10: Permission Entry WindowsApps - Corrupt

Hi

Added myself as admin an admin user to have full control of thisfolder in order to be able to view contents for a reason that is is irrelevant to the current problem.

Stupidly I did not screenshot the list of permissions before making the change which did not see to properly stick with error messages as in screenshots1 and 2.

Leaving me with an error message on the users entry of corrutoion and to delete and recreate. I ran sfc which reported that it had found some corrupt files and successfully repaired them. But I am left as in screenshots 3 and 4 and canot see how I delete that entry and do not even know if I should replace it were I to be able to delete it.

If anyone can shed any light, particularly on what the defaut settings would be (shoudl that user entry be there - I think I added it!). And if not how I go abotu deleting it. Presumably once deleted then I coudl recreate it?

Is this an issue of being signed in as that user, preventing the deletion of that user entry?

What I have:




Like you said, don't change permissions unless you can fully revert them after a temporary change.

It's better to use a file manager that can bypass rights checking instead of messing with permissions.

Taking ownership of windowsapps folder - failed to process?

FYI:




So I cancel that.

Then I can access the folder and modify contents without changing permissions using other utilities.





Or use Q-Dir:


Windows 10 all apps folder (open, find, delete, cleen)?
