Windows 10: Unable to do anything within File Explorer requiring Admin Privileges

Sometime last year I had to replace everything within my computer and this included my storage drives which included my installation of Windows 10. I re-installed my version of windows correctly but before this, I had installed it on one of my HDDs E: instead of my SSD C:, which is the drive I boot my PC with. Fast forward a couple of months and I'm running low on storage on the E: drive and notice that I still have the required files from when I installed windows to it by mistake. This has all happened due to my honest mistake but when I go to remove them, since I don't run windows from this drive, it tells me that I require Admin Privileges. My account is the only account on my PC and is an Administrator account, I've searched google for an answer and each time it loops back to changing the file owner and/or the files individual account privileges.




^ My Microsoft account with admin privileges. My email blacked out




^ Image of the privileges for the file I'm trying to delete. PC name and my email blacked out




^ Unable to delete the file I want to. PC name and my Account name blacked out


I still have enough storage on my E: drive for now but I have a few games I'd like to install soon and it won't be enough so I'd like to remove these windows as soon as possible preferably without doing any wipes/clean installs.

A required privilege is not held by the client // help please

My problem: A required privilege is not held by the client shows up when I try to run any executable file. I am the only administrator on all household PC's. I have at least five Windows 10 PC's in the household.

For a couple of months I had my problem on only one desktop PC (v1909) which I have dealt with by using Safe Mode when I absolutely had to do so. As of today I can add one laptop (v2004) to my list with this problem. I read the one post that I could find and I tried the suggestion today on both of the problem PC's to no avail. (Tweaking.com's cautious repair tool, observing the cautious steps, and apply only the relevant fixes for permissions.) I have at least one other PC with v2004 and no privilege problem and at least one other PC with v1909 and no privilege problem.

Previously I had tried these six methods:
1. Run the Program as Administrator
2. Use Command Prompt to run the file
3. Disable The Admin Approval Mode
4. Disable UAC using Registry Editor
5. Change Sharing Permission
6. Take ownership of the Root Drive

Thank you for any new suggestions or known fixes . . . .

 

Admin rights

Well now you see my issue. I am restarting explorer with admin permission, but nothing changes. It still says I need admin permission when I try to do anything with the files.

 

Virtual Machine on a flash Drive without admin privileges

so... no go for vpc without admin privileges ?
