i had a similar issue with access to some folders in the users folder and found that the everyone security group had the deny read / list attributes access set to it.

Just a couple of points with permissions which may help with assigning and removing them ....
The permissions assigned are always set as the lowest access level set therefore a user folder with limited permissions set for "everyone" will cause difficulties for access even for the "administrators" group which is included in the "Everyone" Group
The deny permission settings will always take priority over any allow permissions and therefore should only used when no other permissions are appropriate. Unfortunately this is not always the case even with Microsoft themselves .
Setting a deny permission for everyone will likely lock all users out of the area except the Hidden Administrator.
Maybe try Disk cleanup ?
Ok I've got this problem again.
On my main media HDD I've got a ghosted out $RECYCLE.BIN & also a System Volume INformation which is also ghosted out.
Now I can click on & enter the recycle bin folder, but when I try to access the System Volume it gives me this error message:
& regardless neither one of them will allow me to delete them, even after I try to give myself ownership?
The system information folder is a system file that is locked whilst the operating system is running.
You can reset this from the advanced system properties by adjusting the requirements for the shadow copy and system restore and if you wish you can switch it off for a particular drive
The grayed out resyle bin is on all drives (removable as well) and there may be multiple recyvle bins under the main one. These are not emptied when you choose Empty recycle bin
You can open these and delete the subfolders, but leave the original Recycle Bin intact.
There are files in those rectcle bins that have been deleted of that drive.
Hmm well I dont want either one of these files/folders on my media HDD - they just popped out of no where a couple of weeks ago.
So what is the easiest way to get rid of them both? If the one is locked while the computer is running... how are you ever able to delete it?
You should be able to get them not to show by putting your folder view settings to Hide.
