I think you need to take the ownership and so that you can fix your issue. To take the ownership follows the steps below. First select the folders that want to make ownership and then right click that folder and then select the properties. Now under the properties go to the security tab and then press ok while security prompts. After that now go to the advance tab and then select the owner tab and then make check mark on Replace owner on sub containers and objects check box. And now click ok and press yes while you prompted. I hope this could help you lot.

I would like to suggest you the following steps, so that you can solve your issue. To do this follow the steps below: first login with the administrator account which have full privilege and then select the start icon from the desktop and then go to the all programs and after that select the accessories. Now under the accessories make right click on the command prompt and then select the “run as administrator” And after that select to continue the user account control. And after that open the command prompt and then type icacls path /T /grant username:F on the command prompt and hit enter. i think this will help you lot to solve this issue.
