    The title pretty much says it all. How do I regain control of this folder so that I can delete files and free up space? It won't even let me delete the folder I get the following error:

    Unable to edit permissions or access file folder "WindowsApps" on internal secondary HD... e7b6c146-671f-4937-94d0-be612b1c576c?upload=true.png


    And when I attempt to modify the folder permissions this is what I see:

    Unable to edit permissions or access file folder "WindowsApps" on internal secondary HD... 6922d0d4-7403-4c96-8cf9-068aa7133f99?upload=true.png

    I've even tried giving myself full access permissions on the hard drive itself but when it got to the "WindowsApps" folder I received the following error:

    "Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied."

    :)

    Unable to edit permissions or access file folder "WindowsApps" on internal secondary HD...

    Getting full access to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps


    Hey x509,
    IIRC ... it's not actually a corrupt entry, but a special permission/condition (Exists:WIN://SYSAPPID) for Users(Pc-Name\Users) and shouldn't be removed. If you must change permissions on the WindowsApps folder and/or sub folders/files .... I suggest you get familiar with ICACLS first and save the current WindowsApps Folder / Sub Folders / File permissions to a acl.txt file, so you can restore them in case you break something (which is very likely when messing with permissions)

    ICACLS - iCacls - Modify Access Control List - Windows CMD - SS64.com
