• Destination folder access denied

  Background.  I recently bought a new cell phone. It came with the dropbox app to move photos and videos taken with the phone to a PC.  I've installed dropbox on my PC and photo & video transfers started without problem. I run Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 operating system. I am the only user and the administrator of the machine.

  Today, I received an alert of dropbox on my PC telling me I had run out of disk space, and dropbox will not sync until I had released sufficient disk space. I went in my camera under dropbox downloads folder and started to remove. No problem delete pictures, but could not remove the videos in the folder. Any attempt to remove result in destination folder access denied. I right click Properties for the folder and the files that will not delete are showing I own and have full control.

  Need help remove the videos downloaded so I can solve the issue of disk space low on my PC.

• Destination folder access denied. You need permission to perform this action.

  OK, I'm absolutely sick freaking that. I am logged on as administrator, and there are some files that I can't remove everything. I get the message "Destination folder access denied you need permission to perform this action."

  Why the hell do I need permission? I am an administrator and it's MY computer!

  I tried to fix this for hours now, searching through the forums looking for answers, trying all the things that people give to think (as the change of ownership of the files - didn't work).

  I tried to turn of UAC, but it tells me that I have to restart, which I do, but then when the computer turns UAC turns on again!

  Gaaaah! It's driving me crazy - I'm trying to delete files and folders that I need not, they take up valuable space and they have nothing to do with the functioning of the system.

  Now I know why everyone hates on Vista.

  A lot of files and folders in Vista are unable even to administrators (unlike was the case with XP).  To remove a file, you need all rights to him and maybe same property (and these can be inherited from parent folders or their parent folders is not just a simple matter to change the permissions of the file - unless you remove the inheritance rights in the section advanced as well).  It has nothing to do with YOUR computer, it has to do with the protection of the system of files to be modified, moved, deleted or otherwise modified by people who do not really know what they're doing and causing significant damage. There are places called junction pointshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968829 (VS.85) .aspx which should NOT be accessed by anyone for any reason for example.  Now there are places in your own profile which you denied access.  That's how it works on Vista (and I don't think it's different in Windows 7).

  If you think you should have access to delete the file and know that it will cause no harm, so some information here about obtaining permissions (you want full rights for yourself) and appropriate (not always required but sometimes useful).  Being the owner does not necessarily give you the permissions of all rights - sometimes, you need to do both.  Don't forget to go to the Advanced section to check the rights listed there as well as on the home page - they can block you all also if you don't fix them as well.

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  ====================================================================================================================

  If this does not work, try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when the normal functions to remove Vista not work properly - but it helps if troubleshoot you permission first (even those programs may not work to override only).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Troubleshoot "access denied" when opening files or folders

• Access denied on external hard drive.

  I have an external drive, which works perfectly well. But I've just updated from vista to W7, and now I can not access the disk from that specific computer. I get access denied. On the properties, all users have full access. And the funny part is on my other computer, with the exact same OS, the drive works perfectly. So, I expect that there is a setting that I didn't know.
  Is there someone with good ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hi I tried your instructions below to restore all my administrator permissions full on my external hard drive.

  1. click on Start , click all programs , and click Accessories .
  2. right click on command prompt , and then click run as administrator .
  3. in administrator: command prompt window.
  4. type
  takeown /F (external drive letter) and press ENTER.
  5 type
  CACLS (external drive letter) /G Administrator: F and press enter

  After that I followed these steps, my computer Windows 7 says that the drive is not accessible.  I plugged it to my old XP computer, and it also says "access denied."  I have a huge amount of important files there and I need to restore access, but I can't find an answer for how to cancel the steps I followed.  Please tell me how to reverse the steps I did your earlier suggestion.

  HI its as says, I can't delete the .mp4 files, I followed ALL (and I say all possible solutions, I can find online) solutions step by step and still it is messed up, I can not delete a single .mp4 files, I am the administrator, .mp4 files are all created by I, me and me and no one Since I'm the only user of this computer and I have to activate all possible permissions. What should I do next? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  Then without being able to see your computer, I am of ideas. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help you. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hi, its ok if you ran out of ideas, but I still have to thank you for your help because I learned some new things myself. The only solution I've found to remove my video files .mp4 without having to reboot in safe mode is to use unlocker software to help remove my .mp4 files, so far it has been helpful and has not posed no problem to my computer.  I changed to windows 7 since then, and there have not been problems with the far .mp4 files. Thank you again once, appreciate the help you gave. ^ ^

WIndows 7 tells me that the destination folder access denied, and I need administrator permission to copy to this folder. I click on 'Continue' and then... nothing happens.

• Denied destination folder access (EA 6500)

  I have an EA6500 with a hard drive connected to the USB port. When I try to copy a file to the drive VIA the network on my computer folder, it says "Destination folder, access denied, you have Permision to perform this Action." I used to be able to copy files to the disc, so I don't know that it is just a setting on the router or something. Any idea?

  Thank you

  Reset your router can be addressed. Note that this will eliminate the actions that you have configured previously (if any) that it will set the router to the factory settings. For good measure, safely remove your network drive before you perform a reset. You can also save a backup of your current router configuration file before you do a reset. Use the saved file to restore your settings from easy reconfiguration.

  If you have not upgraded to the latest firmware, go ahead and do it. Go to the Page in Support of EA6500 for the latest version.

• External device problem - "YOU NEED of PERMISSION to PERFORM THIS ADMINISTRATIVE TASK" & after I click 'YES' it says "DESTINATION FOLDER ACCESS IS DENIED."

  Original title: external device problem

  Whenever I connect any external devices like pen drive & sdcard, I can't write anything in them, that they are not protected in writing! But I can copy things from them, but I can not cut & paste anything on their part in my system. I can only copy & paste. Whenever I try to write anything he says 'YOU NEED of PERMISSION to PERFORM THIS ADMINISTRATIVE TASK' & after I click 'YES' it says "DESTINATION FOLDER ACCESS IS DENIED." When I tried to format these devices, he says "YOU do not HAVE ENOUGH PERMISSION to PERFORM THIS OPERATION".

  Please help me!

  Sriram salvation,

  Have you tried the suggestions in the previous answer?

  I suggest you to disable the antivirus application and check the status of the issue. Refer to the following steps:

  a: you should see an icon for your Antivirus program in the taskbar notification area. It is usually at the bottom right of your desktop.

  b. click the third-party security software, you will see a pop up.

  (c) in this pop and select the option to disable, click on it.

  d. now third-party security software will be disabled.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Please let us know if you need assistance.
