How to Fix Destination Folder Access Denied in Windows 10
by June Reeve Content MarketerMany
users have reported getting an error called Destination
Folder Access Denied in Windows 10; they attempt to copy, move or
delete a file or a folder either locally or from a shared resource. It mostly
occurs when multiple users are configured on a system and/or after you've got
updated your OS and try to change an existing file or folder on your old OS.
Things are often different, but the issue’s root cause is the ownership
properties of the target file/folder. The error may say “Destination Folder
Access Denied,” but the problem mostly is with the properties of the source
folder. Follow our guide to troubleshoot it.
Steps to Resolve Destination Folder Access Denied Error
Before taking action to repair
the destination folder access denied issue, export your important data first to
avoid any data loss trouble. Now, let’s learn effective ways to repair the
difficulty.
1. Check
Connectivity and Sharing
If you're getting this error when
trying to access a shared folder, then the possibilities are that permissions
for some reason on the other computer have tousled. The primary method to
diagnose this may be to test the connectivity and, if it’s successful, check
Share Permissions, else troubleshoot and confirm that both the systems are
online.
2. Turn On
Network Discovery & File Sharing
If you're copying/moving a file
to or from a network location and getting this error, confirm that Network
Discovery & File Sharing is enabled on both the systems (Source/ Destination).
3. Disabling
User Account Control
UAC also can deny access to a
folder. this will be re-enabled later but must be done to check the problem.
4. Using
Advanced Sharing
When accessing a source file
shared on another computer, we will use Advanced sharing, which provides more
control over what's shared with whom and with what level of access.
5. Transferring
Ownership of the File/Folder
Unavailability of ownership to
your account can cause the system to limit you from modifying the file/folder
in question. This usually occurs when the folder has been copied from a special
computer or is found on a drive. To require ownership, go online with an
administrator account.
