    How to get Access to windows Apps folder on the secondary drive ?


    You are about to read some bad English. and I am really sorry about it. I am not a native English speaker.
    Hey Guys, Good Evening
    I am having some problems
    I want to know that how can I get access to windows apps folder after moving it to D drive
    I have tried everything there is but I still can't get access to it
    I can only access the drive if I am using the hidden administrative account and even on hidden administrative account I can only see those files I can't do anything to the files for example if I want to edit or replace those files I can't do it...The error will popup and say Access Denied this happening on hidden administrative account What should I do

    and IF I want to delete those files this error comes up

    Hello, I don't think I could manage a description like that in another language, so well done.

    Do you mean this? and how did you move the folder originally?

    Yup I did it like this but after doing this I can't get access to windows apps folder on my other drive ...I have tried everything (change the permissions, Going to the hidden administrator mode, etc )
    But I still can't get access to it

    Do you have any suggestions to solve my problem

    Hello, I don't yet know what's going on, so can't make a suggestion. I can open that folder in its default location

    %LocalAppData%\Packages

    with no problem:

    I can't get access to windows apps folder on my other driveWhich is the 'other drive'? C or D?Are you trying to access the original apps folder on C: after having moved it?

    Can you please post a screenshot of what you see,
    both there (put %LocalAppData%\Packages in the explorer address field)
    and of the folder you believe should contain your universal apps on D?

    Now, if I right click on that folder in explorer, properties, security I see

    System Allow (all except special permissions) Deny none
    Me The same
    Administrators The same

    What do you see?

    And why would you get an error message about creating a folder?

    By changing the permissions and trying to delete apps like that you're more likely to create problems than fix them.

    what are you talking about I am talking about windows apps folder which is in
    C:\Program Files\WindowsApps this is their default location I ....I am really sorry If I am wrong but I think this is the original and their default location.

    and if you want to access this location user have to change the permission which I did and I got in only in the default location not on the secondary drive

    these are the permissions of the folder

    Don't worry about it ..I already know the consequences & I already know how to revert or restore my permissions back...and even If that doesn't work then I already have my full hardisk back...SO don't worry about it

    Hi, here are two ways to delete such items by not using Windows.
    (and of course you could read/copy the files and folders if you wish)

    1. Delete it from a command prompt outside Windows.
    You will need some familiarity with commands to do this.

    Shift + hover over Restart, left click. Boot to a command prompt. Navigate (carefully) to the correct drive, noting the drive letters will be different viewed here. Navigate to your folder. Delete it.

    2. Boot your PC from a live boot disk
    (e.g.
    Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums

    Navigate to your folder and delete it

    I probably won't be much helpful, but I think applications in the WindowsApps folder are EFS-encrypted, which may explain the bad data error you got. I personally can't move the WindowsApps folder to a secondary place, and I think it's because I prevented the filecrypt filesystem minifilter driver to start, as it was posing some problems not relevant here. I suppose this driver is used to encrypt/decrypt data transparently in kernel space, and is essential to EFS.

    I knew it the main problem is encryption so can't we just remove this encryption ...or is there is anyway to modify it
