Access issues (EVEN THOUGH I'M THE OWNER...)
I'm beyond frustrated with this crap. But here it goes.
I'm TRYING to delete my steam directory on my games partition on my SSD because it's not working properly and I want to just delete it and start fresh (since the only game in it is fallout 4). When I try to delete it, however, I get the error "You require permission from 'PCNAME-PC\MYUSERNAME' to make changes to this folder. The thing that puzzles me is I AM ON THAT ACCOUNT THAT IT'S SAYING IT REQUIRES PERMISSION FROM. It makes zero sense to me. I've already followed the steps to make sure I am the owner of the folder, but it still won't let me delete it. I don't understand why microsoft had to mess with security permissions so much in windows 10, it's sooooooooooo messed up. Let's just say this isn't the first time I've had issues with permissions before.
SIDE NOTE: My OS is also installed on my SSD, but on a seperate partition than my steam library that I'm trying to delete. ALSO, on my HDD, I can delete any folder I want and I'm not even the owner of it. Now that I mention it, for some reason the owner of my HDD is "TrustedInstaller". Not exactly sure why that is. If that seems sketchy, let me know. But at the moment, it isn't causing me any problems.
EDIT: I don't know if this is worth noting, but I recently reformatted my C:\ Drive because of malicious crap that I foolishly fell for. I was able to delete folders in that directory before the reformat as far as I remember....
