Situation
I have some folders on a external hdd. I am done working on them and I tried moving them to another folder thats NON EFS) Usually this automatically removes the EFS attribute but this is where I have my problem.
I am unable to move the files because I receive the error "Disk is full or write protected"
I am the only one on my system and my disk is nowhere near full.
I already tried unchecking the attribute in the advance setting and that doesn't work. I totally disabled EFS on the system. That didn't work.
I recently wiped my drive and re installed windows. These files were on the c drive initially but then I moved them to the external before I wiped the main drive.
Once I reloaded the system, I ran newSID. Is this the reason why I cannot access my files anymore? Did I just screw myself? I think I did but I want another opinion. I am able to access everything else just not the encrypted ones
