It says "Access denied" :/ Any idea how to fix that?

@sydneyc111 That's a bit unusual, but one possibility is that OneDrive is running and blocking access for... reasons. You can pause or cancel a sync easily enough:
If that doesn't help, or you don't use OneDrive, you should be able to use the takeown command to give yourself full permissions:
- Restart your computer, and don't open any applications
- Hit Windows key-X and choose either "PowerShell (Administrator)" or "Command Prompt (Administrator)," whichever option is offered
- In the window, write this command: takeown /F "[full file path]" with the quotes. In this case, you'd write "C:\Users\[your username]\Documents" except with your actual username inserted.
- Double-check the command (take note of the two spaces in the command line), and when you're satisfied, hit Enter
- Restart your computer again
If you get an error message, please post a screenshot.
