I cannot delete a folder which says, "Access is denied" while trying to delete it thruGUI mode or thru Command Prompt.
Solution:
Change the permissions for directories by using the commands,* cacls.exe
* icacls.exe
Cacls.exe
[NOTE:] i. Cacls is now deprecated, please use Icacls.ii. Wildcards can be used to specify more than one file in a command.
You can specify more than one user in a command.
Description:
Displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files
Syntax:
CACLS filename [/T] [/M] [/L] [/S[:SDDL]] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm]
[/R user [...]] [/P user:perm [...]] [/D user [...]]
filename Displays ACLs.
/T Changes ACLs of specified files in
the current directory and all subdirectories.
/L Work on the Symbolic Link itself versus the target
/M Changes ACLs of volumes mounted to a directory
/S Displays the SDDL string for the DACL.
/S:SDDL Replaces the ACLs with those specified in the SDDL string
(not valid with /E, /G, /R, /P, or /D).
/E Edit ACL instead of replacing it.
/C Continue on access denied errors.
/G user:perm Grant specified user access rights.
Perm can be: R Read
W Write
C Change (write)
F Full control
/R user Revoke specified user's access rights (only valid with /E).
/P user:perm Replace specified user's access rights.
Perm can be: N None
R Read
W Write
C Change (write)
F Full control
/D user Deny specified user access.
iCacls.exe
ICACLS name /save aclfile [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
stores the DACLs for the files and folders that match the name
into aclfile for later use with /restore. Note that SACLs,
owner, or integrity labels are not saved.
ICACLS directory [/substitute SidOld SidNew [...]] /restore aclfile
[/C] [/L] [/Q]
applies the stored DACLs to files in directory.
ICACLS name /setowner user [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
changes the owner of all matching names. This option does not
force a change of ownership; use the takeown.exe utility for
that purpose.
ICACLS name /findsid Sid [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
finds all matching names that contain an ACL
explicitly mentioning Sid.
ICACLS name /verify [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
finds all files whose ACL is not in canonical form or whose
lengths are inconsistent with ACE counts.
ICACLS name /reset [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
replaces ACLs with default inherited ACLs for all matching files.
ICACLS name [/grant[:r] Sid:perm[...]]
[/deny Sid:perm [...]]
[/remove[:g|:d]] Sid[...]] [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
[/setintegritylevel Level:policy[...]]
Say,
To delete the victim folder,
cacls <FilePath> /T /C /E /G User:Perm
Example, cacls "C:\Folder\*.*" /T /C /E /G User:<F|N|RX|W|R>
And, rmdir /s /d "C:\Folder"
