    Dear Ribosome,

    Here are Recommended Steps to Resolve “Access Denied” Errors

    1. Take Ownership of the Folder

    Right-click the folder > Properties > Security > Advanced

    Click Change next to the Owner field

    Enter your username and click Check Names, then OK

    Enable “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects” and apply changes

    2. Grant Full Control Permissions

    In the same Security > Advanced window, add your user account

    Assign Full Control permissions

    Apply and close all dialogs

    3. Use Safe Mode or Command Prompt

    Boot into Safe Mode and try deleting the folder

    Or use Command Prompt (Admin) with: cmd takedown /f "C:\Path\To\Folder" /r /d "C:\Path\To\Folder" /grant administrators:F /t

    • rmdir /s /q "C:\Path\To\Folder"

    4. Check for System Protection (e.g., TrustedInstaller) Some folders are protected by system services like TrustedInstaller. You may need to reassign ownership from TrustedInstaller to your account before deletion.

    Let me know how it goes, and if this answer helps, feel free to hit “Accept Answer” so others can benefit too 😊
