  1. Randomly getting Access Denied from my own folders.


    I'm created a folder a few minutes ago, and I had to delete it now. I am the administrator of my pc and have full control permissions. When I went to delete it, it gave me an error stating that I do not have permission. This is happening constantly on my pc where I create files and then they just somehow get higher permissions than full control administrator. Please help!

    :)

    Destination Folder Access Denied

    Hi,

    There are times that you may run into the issue of being unable to open or access or work with files and folder. The common message that flashes on your computer screen when you try doing so reads: "Access Denied."

    This can occur for one or more of the following reasons:

    • The folder ownership may have changed.
    • You do not have the proper permissions.
    • The file may be encrypted.
    • The file may be in use.
    • The file may be corrupt.
    • The user profile may be corrupt.
    To resolve this issue, the first step is to run CHKDSK. It detects and fix disk corruption. To run CHKDSK, follow these steps:

    • Press Win+X.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the window that opens enter your CHKDSK command.
