Recently I used SymMover to free up space on my SSD by moving a few data heavy programs to a software folder on my HDD. Now however when I try to delete or install updates or new programs to this folder I get an access denied prompt despite being the only admin on the machine. I have tried taking ownership of the folder as well as the whole HDD. I am able to gain permissions for the entire drive except for this one folder even though it's ownership is listed under me. Any ideas?
Can't modify software folder on HDD
