Windows 10: Weird computer name in my folder permissions

Hello,


So I was trying to move some movies from my movies file and it gave me a popup saying that I needed to have permission to be able to move the file. I went to the general section in the folder's properties and I noticed that the folder was on "Read Only", then I went to the security section and found 2 weird computer names that had full permissions and my account had read only permissions.


I tried to take ownership of the folder and it worked, but when I tried to tick the "Replace all child object permission entries.......... " It gave me an error, but when I remove the 2 weird users from the security section in the movie file's properties, it does it successfully.


Also when I try to open protected folders in windows defender it tells me that "Your IT administrator has disabled some features in the app" I have avira free security and AVG


Please help me, I dont want to keep removing the user from every single file.

:)

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
