  • I went to install Photoshop from their creative cloud app thing.
  • I changed the location to install on my E drive (HDD)
  • I successfully had it installed on my C drive initially but uninstalled a few months ago
  • The install failed.
  • When I went to the Apps folder the install dumped a bunch of Photoshop files. I was unable to create a new folder and I was unable to delete files.





I ran a few cmd commands





I tried setting permissions but it didn't work.





I gave permissions to Users, Administrators, and whatever the other 2 entities are





I performed a drive check





And another cmd prompt




  • I can add new folders, edit, delete, c/p files into the rest of the E drive.
  • I just cannot do anything with the E:\Apps folder which stores all of my important program files.


How can I fix this?
