Hi all,

Prior to installing a new hardware bundle, I had windows 8.1 upgraded to 10 and logged in with my Microsoft account/email

Then I install my new bundle and a new copy of windows 10

I used disk management, to re setup storage HDD's, I never changed. All looks good.

But now I have a folder on a storage drive (music) it says isn't mine and even as admin I cannot do anything. I tried to take owner ship, but it wont let me? I cant even delete it and pull the data off my external drive.

What can one do?
 
From a quick search...

Browse to the root folder you are working on (one level down from the file/folder you are having trouble with), right click and select PROPERTIES, then click the SECURITY TAB, then the ADVANCED button, then click the REPLACE ALL CHILD PERMISSION ENTRIES.
 
I did a search and nothing was working

Keep getting 'cannot enumerate files in this folder' and for your suggestion too.
