An error occurred while applying security information to

While attempting to move files from a hard drive I recovered I kept getting the following error on a specific set of files.

An error occurred while applying security information to
{G:\Folder}
Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied.

In order to fix it did the following.

-Open a Command Prompt "As Administrator"

-Run the following commands:

takeown /f "G:\folder" /r /d y
icacls "G:\folder" /grant administrators:F /T

  10. This solved it for me

    You may also try Computer Management/Shared Folders/Open Files and close any affected files. For me this solved the problem.

  11. this doesn't work for me, neither commands are being recognised

  12. Damn!! It worked.
    For the ones saying the command doesn't work, put a space after the folder name, as in:
    takeown /f G:\folder /r /d y

    one more thing, change "administrators" for your administrator name, like my case, in portuguese, it goes like this:

    icacls G:\folder /grant administrador:F /T

    Thanks a lot, Richard

  14. You are a lifesaver! NOTE: I had to put the path in quotes and add a space between the path and the /r.

  15. This is the single most useful approach to this problem. The other method (going through Properties->Security then editing the permissions) is from hell. Thanks.

  22. Just tried this method, but I still get "Access is denied". The folder I'm trying to delete is in the Recycle bin.

  23. I ended up starting Windows in safe mode and then I was able to delete the folder.

  35. Divide those 30ml into equal doses thrice, or more times, a day. Once you’re ready to use this remedy, begin with mixing 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into 8 ounces of distilled water. If you have ever used mouthwash before, you will be familiar with how to use Toxin Rid. Prepare your small bottle of Toxin Rid Rescue, excuse yourself for a few moments, and then walk to the nearest toilet. Given that it takes up to half a year to fully cleanse your body, not everyone has that luxury. You can also completely shave your head but it’s too obvious and they might request another sample.
