Security: Unable to display current owner
same thing happened to me. restart fixed it!
Microsoft provides a freeware tool written by a third-party in the download section:
FILEACL v3.0.1.6
It's a NTFS Permissions command line tool. It allows to manipulate ACLs on NTFS volumes:
- change permissions masks
- take ownership
- manipulate inheritance
- report permissions and apply them elsewhere
- view raw or SDDL version of security information
*FILEACL is not a Microsoft tool, therefore Microsoft cannot provide any kind of support regarding this tool, please refer to the third party web site below for any support request.*
Here you can find how to use this tool (command line switches etc.): documentation.
Others pointed out that this can be fixed by restarting - this is because this issue is can be caused by applications keeping file handles opened. I experienced this with TortoiseGit's background TGitCache process, which somehow kept hold of repository folders even after I deleted them. Killing the process made those folders disappear.
In this case restarting explorer.exe to kill all shel extensions would probably do the trick.
