    Overwriting files is disabled for users with full control


    I use a data partition (~900Mb) (Z: drive) to clean an de-dupe data. There are photos which I am unable to delete because "Access denied" but there are no security restrictions. The data drives are all owned by the Administrators, and all have the same three users with "Full control". The files I was trying to delete also have the same inherited security settings.
    How can I correct this?

    What are the permission on the files? If they are copied by some software they can be owned by something else

    The files' security tab are identical to the partition. Full control for the SYSTEM, the Administrators, and ineuw, who is also an admin.
    They files are standard .jpg files and deleteable individually. Just can't overwrite them when copy them from another folder.

Hi I installed Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 10130 and I updated it. I have created an Users account, and clicking on the Start, I noticed that most of the tiles (including that of the Store (beta)) are not enabled. Why? Thanks Bye
