Problem when trying to copy, move, or delete files from hard drive to USB flash drive: "Error 8009005: Bad Data"

[jabbadahut]

I am having trouble copying, moving or deleting files from a folder on my D:\ drive (which is where I have my personal data, as well as my 'Users' folder). I had downloaded a few 3rd party programs that I was going to install after I reinstalled the 64-bit version of Windows 10 as I couldn't open the start menu for some reason. I had accidentally copied them to a folder called WindowsApps instead of to my USB flash drive, so I tried to move them there. However, I keep getting the following error:

"An unexpected error is keeping you from copying (NOTE - this word is replaced depending on what action I am doing with those files) the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.

Error: 0x8009005: Bad Data"

I searched for this error on Google, but I haven't seen anything related to my problem. Is tthe affected folder protected? I wouldn't think it is, otherwise why am I able to copy files there in the first place? I tried getting ownership of the folder, but I keep getting a non-specific "Bad Data" error.

How can I resolve this issue? The only solution I see is to re-install Windows 10, as that was my original intention due to a problem opening the Start Menu. Well, the problem with that is resolved, so I don't see a need. I can't reset the OS, because I have the 'Users' folder on my D:\ drive. (I put them there to avoid wearing out the SSD drive where the OS is installed.)

Sorry, but that is a bad, unneeded, move.

1. Your SSD will NOT wea2 out anytime this decade. Or probably next decade.
2. Don't move your /User/ folder. Bad things will happen

Now, onto the other issue.

Is there any reason you can't just download those things again? Instead of trying to work around the limitations and permission thing of the WindowsApps folder.

Thanks for the information about the SSD drive. Looks like I'll need to reinstall. As to your 2nd post, yeah I have already downloaded & copied them to the USB flash drive. I was trying to get rid of the original copies in that affected folder.
