Windows 10: You require permission from XXX to make changes to this folder

I have been trying to delete a shared Dropbox sub-folder (shared to me, alr unshared on Dropbox web), but to no avail.

- Logged in as Super Administrator on Win 10 x64
- Delete in Safe mode
- Take Ownership with .reg file found on this forum
- Tried LockHunter
- FULL CONTROL for ALL Users






but I still get that error when deleting the folder! Any workaround for this?

Permission to make changes to a Folder

A folder containing non-system or application related data needs to be deleted.

The following messages are generated, when I attempt to perform the action:

"Folder Access Denied"

"You need permission to perform this action"

"You require permission from XXX\XXX to make changes to this folder"

I am the sole user of the PC.

 

Unable to delete a particular folder. Error: "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."

Windows Edition 10 Version 1809, OS build 18272.1000

After installing the latest creators update I have the following issue. When using Explorer to delete a folder that is not empty I always get this issue: "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder." It doesn't matter
if I just created it or not. I can remove the folder just fine using rmdir <folder> /s /q.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Using explorer create the folder c:\users\rob\a\b\c.
2. Using explorer try to delete folder c:\users\rob\a.
   1. It fails with "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."
3. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a\b\c -works just fine
4. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a\b -works just fine
5. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a -works just fine.

This will also reproduce the issue

1. mkdir c:\users\rob\a
2. mkdir c:\users\rob\a\b
3. mkdir c:\users\rob\a\b\c
4. Using explorer try to delete folder c:\users\rob\a.
   1. It fails with "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."

This is a new behavior and is causing some build tools to fail.

Thanks,
