There are many people complained Windows 10 won’t let me move files; they said the system doesn’t allow them to copy, move or delete a file/folder.

Case 1: Windows 10 won’t let me move a file.

I have recently downloaded a file folder and it contains a file rld.dll. When I try to copy this file to a different folder it asks for administrator permission. After I give the administrator permission it pops up with you need permission to perform this action and also you require permission from everyone to edit this file, but I have the only account on the PC. Does anyone know a solution to this?— from AlexTravers

Case 2: Windows 10 won’t let me move/delete files as an Admin.

Went from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and while there are some serious issues I’m really liking Windows 10 so far—unfortunately, I can’t delete/move files on my PC though I am an Admin with full controls and such. One file is on my desktop, but it won’t let me delete from libraries either, or move them to another local. Any help?— from AtheresRiften

Case 3: I can’t copy a folder to my USB drive.

I have an 8 GB USB drive. When I tried copying a folder of 90 MB with 4 files, it becomes unresponsive (Not Responding is displayed). I have to go to Task manager to end the task. It is not write protected in any way. I can create a folder and then copy my files individually to that folder. Also, I can copy files back from USB to my hard drive. Details of my USB drive: Files System: NTFS, Free Space Available: 7.03 GB.— from skay

Case 4: Windows 10 can’t drag & drop files at times… and other bugs.

Not sure what happened or if it’s a virus???? But I can’t drag & drop files at times, sometimes I can, sometimes it won’t, when I can’t drag n drop I also can’t right-click anything. The options window would pop up for a millisecond and just vanish. It’ll get pretty bad; it would also just close programs automatically. I’ve tried the end process tree in explorer, disabling chrome extensions, uninstalling chrome, explorer, etc., disabled my touch pad, tried a new mouse; even did a factory reset on my laptop and still no fixes. Someone please help!!!!— from The©hosenOne

We’ve all encountered it – you attempt to open a file and the File Access Denied error pops. This problem often happens after reinstallation of Windows. Other cases when you can encounter this error is when you try to move a file from one folder to another. Another possibility is security related. Your system can deny access to some files if it sees them as a threat.

So why does the “Access Denied” error appear?

There are plenty of reasons why this error can appear, but the most common are:

The folder ownership has changed
You don’t have the appropriate permissions
The file may be encrypted
The file may be corrupted

What are your options if you want to access the restricted files and fix the access denied error?

Method 1 – Get ownership of the file or folder

If by any chance you upgrade your Windows to the latest version your account information might change. This is the reason why you lost ownership of some folder and files and you see the “Access Denied” error.

So how to restore the ownership of your files and folders?

For Windows 10 and Windows 8 follow these steps:

Right-click on the folder, and then, choose “Properties” on the menu
Click “Advanced” in the “Security” tab. Click on “Change”
Type the account name that you want to assign ownership to. Then click on “Check Names” button > “OK”
If you want to give this account the ownership of the files and subfolders contained in this folder, enable the “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects” option. Click “OK”

For Windows 7:

Right-click on the folder, and then, choose “Properties”
Click on the “Security” tab>”Advanced” button
Choose “Edit” in the “Owner” tab to change the owner
Hit on “Other users or groups…” button to manually choose the username and type your account name
Next, click on the “Check Names” button>”OK”. Enable “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects” option, if you want to take the ownership of the files and subfolders
Click “OK”

Method 2 – Get Permission of the File or Folder

If you are not granted the appropriate permissions to access files and folders you will be faced again with the “Access Denied” error. You can get permissions for files and folders by following the steps:

First of all, you need to check permissions on a file or a folder. Here we’ll show you a simple tutorial below.

Right-click on the folder and then hit “Properties”
Select the “Security” tab
Click on your name in “Group or user names” to check the permission that you have

If you want to change the permissions on a file or a folder, you should log on the PC as an administrator. Next, click on “Edit” in “Security” tab. And then, choose your name and enable the check boxes of the permissions that you need.

You can also check our more detailed tutorial about this method here.

Method 3 – Unencrypt File or Folder

The role of file encryption is to protect the users’ files and folders. If you want to access encrypted files you will need the certificate that was used to encrypt it in the first place. To check the files or folders for encryption follow these steps:

Right-click on the folder and then hit “Properties”
In “General” tab, click on the “Advanced” button

After that, you can check if “Encrypt Content to Secure Data” option is enabled. If it is checked, you will need the certificate to open the file or folder. If “Encrypt Content to Secure Data” option is unchecked, the file or folder is not encrypted.

Method 4 – add your account to the Administrators group

Windows 10 by details has an Administrator account that is built-in. By using this account you should be able to access all your files and folders.

Due to security reasons, it is not easy to access this account. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu
When Command Prompt starts, type the following net user administrator /active: yes command. By doing so the administrator account will be unlocked
Log off of your account and switch to the newly enabled Administrator account. You should be able to access your files without any problems
After you’re done using the Administrator account, switch back to your main account and start Command Prompt as administrator again. Type the following net user administrator /active: no to disable the Administrator account

Keep in mind that when you switch to your regular account the Access denied error can still appear. In this case you need to get back to the Administrator account and make the necessary changes that we talked about in the previous steps.

Method 5 – Use Command Prompt to reset permissions

There are cases where OneDrive causes problems when it comes to getting access to the Pictures folder. You can do the following to fix the problem:

Right-click the OneDrive icon in the bottom right corner and choose Settings from the menu
Go to the Auto Save tab. Set both Documents and Pictures to This PC only. Click OK to save changes

In case that this does not solve the problem, you need to do the following in Command Prompt:

Open Command Prompt as administrator
Type in the following commands:
- cd /users/Your_Username
- icacls Pictures /reset /t /q
- cd /<path to OneDrive folder>
- icacls Pictures /reset /t /q
After that restart your PC

Access denied error can prevent you from installing new applications, because you can’t access your files and folders. We hope that we have managed to solve your issues with the solutions that we provided!

You might find it strange when Windows tells you that you don’t have permission to access something on your own computer. Usually, this is a result of a permission configuration in the NTFS file system that Windows uses by default.

If you see access is denied messages on Windows 10 when trying to access a file or folder, we’ll walk you through the steps to resolve this. While we focus on Windows 10, most of this guide is also applicable to Windows 11 since the two are so similar.

1. Are You an Administrator?

In the majority of cases, you’ll need to be an administrator on your PC to make changes to file/folder ownership. You may be able to tweak the permissions in directories that belong to you, but you won’t have much control elsewhere.

This is to keep everyone’s files on a computer private. Only administrators can gain access to files that belong to another user. In addition, you’ll need to provide admin permissions to make changes to system files, such as those in the Program Files and Windows folders.

See our guide to getting admin rights in Windows if you haven’t done so yet. We’ll assume you’re an administrator moving forward. If you’re not, talk to whoever is in control of your computer.

2. Fix Access Denied Errors by Taking Ownership

The most common fix to try when you see «folder access denied» is to take ownership of the folder through the File Explorer. Here’s how to do this.

First, right-click the folder or file in question and select Properties. On the resulting window, switch to the Security tab. Next, click the Advanced button for more options.

At the top of the next window, you’ll see a field labeled Owner. This will likely say Unable to display current owner if you’re having an issue. Click the blue Change link next to this to fix it—note that you’ll need to be an administrator to do so.

You’ll now see a dialog box titled Select User or Group. Inside this, in the Enter the object name to select box, type the account name of the new folder owner. This can be either an account username, or a group of users on your PC.

Groups include standard units like Administrators (if you want all computer admins to own it), or Users (for everyone to own it). For home usage, it usually makes the most sense to assign ownership to one person.

We assume that you want to take ownership of the folder with your own account, so type your username here. If you use a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows, your username is the first five letters of your email address.

Hit Check Names once you’re done to make sure it’s correct. If you are, it will automatically change to [PC Name][Username]. Click OK.

Back on the main Advanced window, you’ll notice a box at the bottom that starts with Replace all child object permission entries…. If you want your changes to apply to all folders inside the current one (which you probably do in most cases), check this box. Then hit OK twice, and you’re all done.

Be Careful When Changing File Ownership Settings

When dealing with «access denied» errors, you should apply the above steps with care. Avoid taking ownership of folders in system directories like Windows, Program Files, Program Data, or similar.

Doing so will weaken the security of your system, because normal accounts aren’t meant to be the owners of these directories. They contain important Windows folders that you shouldn’t touch.

You can still get access to most of these folders by navigating to them in File Explorer. You’ll have to confirm admin permissions, then you can take a look at them without becoming the owner.

3. Review Folder Permissions

If taking ownership of a folder doesn’t work, or you’re an administrator trying to give permissions to someone else, you should next review what users have which permissions for the folder in question.

Pull up the same Security tab in a folder’s Properties box as before. At the top, you’ll see a list of users and groups on your PC. Select an entry here, and the bottom panel will show what permissions they have for this folder. Hit the Edit button to change the permissions for each user as desired.

As you’d expect, Full control gives a user (or group) complete power over the folder and everything inside. Read is the most restrictive option, as it only allows you to see what’s in the folder. See Microsoft’s page on file and folder permissions for a more detailed breakdown.

4. Double-Check Your Antivirus Settings

Sometimes, your antivirus can get overzealous and end up messing with your ability to access files. If you’ve confirmed that everything is correct with your file permissions after going through the above, you should consider checking your security tool next.

Take a look around your antivirus program’s settings and see if there’s an option like a file shield, ransomware protection, or similar. Try disabling this and then attempt to access the file again. If it doesn’t have an effect, temporarily disable your antivirus entirely and see if that helps.

5. Check for File Encryption

Another reason you might see the «access is denied» message is that a folder’s contents are encrypted. As you may know, encryption protects a file by only allowing someone with the key to view it.

You can encrypt folder contents in Windows, though this feature is only available in Professional and above versions. To do so, right-click a folder and choose Properties. On the resulting window, click the Advanced button on the General tab.

Here, check the Encrypt contents to secure data box. With this in place, everything inside the folder will be locked.

This type of encryption is transparent, meaning that the owner never notices the encryption. As long as they’re logged into the system, they can access these files. But if you don’t have the certificate used to encrypt the folder, Windows will deny you access. Whoever encrypted the file will need to unlock it.

This isn’t the only way to encrypt files in Windows 10 and 11, but it could cause the error you’re seeing.

Other Potential «File Access Denied» Fixes

We’ve covered the most important solutions for the «folder access denied» problem in Windows 10. You’ll see a lot of advice floating around the web for this issue, but not all of it is great. Some proposed solutions revolve around gaining admin permissions, which we’ve already discussed.

Other advice may not work in every case, but it’s worth bringing up in case nothing else was successful for you.

One common tactic is to disable User Account Control (UAC). To do this, type UAC into the Start menu and choose Change User Account Control settings. Drag the slider all the way down and hit OK.

Once you’ve done this, try the steps in #2 above again to take ownership. After you’re done, make sure to reset the UAC setting to where it was to keep your system safe.

As another troubleshooting step, try booting your computer in Safe Mode and running through the steps to take ownership that way. This rules out any interference from third-party programs.

Finally, make sure that nothing else is using the folder or file you want to access. Another process could have the file locked, which is why you can’t make any changes to it. This is another issue that Safe Mode helps to weed out.

Fixing «Destination Folder Access Denied» and «You Have Been Denied Permission to Access This Folder»

You might see the more specific «destination folder access denied» issue pop up instead. In most cases, you can fix this using the same troubleshooting methods as above. Despite the message, don’t look to fix just the destination folder. Check the permissions on the source folder, too.

«You have been denied permission to access this folder» is another form of this same error. If the standard steps don’t fix it, run through the menu in #3 again and make sure your account hasn’t explicitly been denied permissions for that folder. If you see this for every folder, you may need to repair corruption on your Windows system or profile.

Access Is Denied? We’ll See About That

We’ve taken a look at how to resolve folder and file «access denied» problems in Windows. Usually, this comes down to a simple permission fix. Make sure you have administrator rights, then you can try taking ownership and adjusting permissions as needed. Just avoid changing ownership of protected system folders, which could compromise your system security.

Speaking of permissions, you should also know how to lock down accounts in Windows so they can’t access more than needed.
