Destination folder access denied you need permission to perform this action In Windows

Recently I decided to try and move my Micrososft Store files off my C drive. While doing this many parts of Windows 10 stopped functioning properly. My only option was to try and move the folders and files back. Well when in the process of doing so I started getting the error "Destination folder access denied you need permission to perform this action " . Now the first thing one would think is make sure you take ownership of the destination folder and grant the user full permissions. This didn't work, so there seems to be some sort of file or folder permission issues within Windows 10. So finally I decided to rename the folder in the destination directory as it only contained one file. i was able to rename this folder and then copy my folder from the other drive back without issue. I then took the one file in the folder I renamed and copied that in the new folder and then was able to delete the other folder. There is surely some sort of bug going on here, but it seems that if you rename the destination folder and reapply permissions and then copy into a new folder, it works without issue. hope this helps solve someone else head ache as I have been working on this for some time today and really everything I seem to do lately in Windows 10 seems to be too involved with some sort of issue.
