Access denied to folder

I was changing permissions on a folder as an administrator. My toddler came
in, distracted me, and I denied Full Control to Authenticated Users on the
folder (I was not paying attention like I should have been). Now, even
logged on as an administrator, I cannont access or delete the folder. I am
the only Admin on the the system, and shows full contol. I think that the
Authenticated Users override this (?) Any help? I really need to just
delete the folder at this point, but am denied.

Thanks

Hello,

yes, it may likely override the permissions.
Try right-clicking the folder -> Properties -> tab "Security" > Advanced ->
tab "Owner" -> Edit -> use your user name as owner, check the box "... for
all subcontainers..." -> OK . Give the Authenticated Users all the necessary
permissions in Properties -> tab "Security" -> Edit for deleting. Then, try
deleting again.

Hope this will help you.
Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

This did the trick. Thanks for the assist. I tried this earlier, but missed
a step. Folder was deleted and some long hours of work recovered!
