Access to Users/Documents denied

Hi all,
Everything was working fine till now, then suddenly I get an error message that access to Users/jain/Documents is denied. I searched a bit online and I ended up unlinking my OneDrive account and enabling the hidden Administrator account to no vail. Its not just Documents folder but Pictures as well. The permissions for the jain folder are okay, I think. Its the permissions of the Documents folder thats messed up. I can do everything with the hidden account, everything is fine there.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I think the NTFS permissions of the according folders might be screwed up. Restoring them to their default value might help!

Any idea how to do that?

Hello akshat, :)

If you like, you can see if using "Take Ownership", in the context menu added by the tutorial below, on the folder may help.

No success, still stuck.

I have set all the permissions, and it shows that the owner of the folder is me, so the problem might lie that I don't have full Administrator rights, as when I'm using the 'hidden' administrator account, I can access this folder freely.

I just changed the ownership of the /Documents account, now I'm trying to change the ownership of the Users/jain account. Lets see if that helps.
