Hello Krishnesh, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If you have not already, take ownership of the external hard drive itself with the Replace owner on subcontainers and objectsbox checked, then set permissions to allow your account "Full Control" of the drive. Afterwards, see how it works for you.

Take Ownership of file

In addition, you could use the context menu below to make taking ownership and setting permissions easier for items as needed.
