@Jaylob4, I agree with you that it is really stubborn.

Run the following commands one by one:

iCacls "E:" /INHERITANCE:E /GRANT:R "Everyone":(F) /T /C

Explorer.exe "E:\"

Sorry, run it in CMD or the Program?

On the program.

On the program.

I copied and pasted, something happens, a black cmd type screen flashes but goes in a micro second.

Um, I am running the correct program, see image.

Let's try another way. Run the following command on the program to open a Command Prompt window:

CMD.exe

On the Command Prompt window, run the following commands:

iCacls "E:" /INHERITANCE:E /GRANT:R "Everyone":(F) /T /C

Explorer.exe "E:\"

Did that, see images.

Maybe, for some screwed up reason, it's the 222MB Unallocated space!
Create a New Simple Volume and see what happens.

The OP's drive E: should be the EFI system partition, which should not have a drive letter.
The following is my EFI system partition, which has no drive letter.

Sorry Edwin, I'm not ignoring you.

Yes I would do that but am concerned I would create another drive letter I can't delete.

Maybe it's that Office 'Click To Run' virtual drive, (or what ever the heck it's called!)
