Cannot Gain Access to Folder

[NUBETOOBER39]

Let me start by saying I am the admin on my computer, I have take full control of the parent folders previously and this is a new folder that I cannot change. I have restarted my computer to see if it clears, I have gone into the security section of it and the parent folder to give myself permissions and set myself as owner, I have used CMD to give myself permissions and then try to delete it in there. I have no idea what else to do and whenever I try to search for this topic it always gives the same result of "just go into the security section and give yourself ownership," but that does not work for me.

Any ideas? Please and thank you.

IObit Unlocker is a free tool designed to fix the "Cannot Delete" or "Access Denied" problems. It can "Force" terminate all related processes that prevent you from deleting or accessing files / folders that you need to. http://www.freenew.net/windows/iobit-unlocker-1-0/68837.htm

I've use this successfully, and worked for me on Windows 7 and 10.
TakeOwnership : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

Save yourself time and skip setting it up manually. Link at bottom of that page has auto Reg hack to get it going ( https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Take-Ownership-Menu-Hacks.zip )

Sorry I never replied. Unfortunately neither of those solutions worked for me. I downloaded IObit Unlocker and used it to "unlock" it and it says successful, but when I try to open it or delete it it says access denied as it did. Then with the TakeOwnership registry edit, I added it to the registry and then right clicked and used "Take Ownership," but it still doesn't allow me to open it.

Now the error is "<folder> is not accessible. Access is denied."

Can you try running those from Safe Mode?

Can you try running those from Safe Mode?

That doesn't seem to have done anything either.

I managed to fix the problem by opening CMD and typing in "netsh winsock reset" then restarting my computer. Every folder and file that had access denied was now open to my altering. Thank you all for the replies though.
