I think this is a solution for you, PowerShell 🙂 https://itluke.online/2018/02/02/how-to-reset-file-or-folder-permissions-with-powershell/ Test it on one folder first in which you have that problem, a sub/sub-folder so to say.

- Trying to install module on power shell ISE but it says that "The term is not recognised as the name of cmdlet"
Object not found.- Ok..., did an install just now in a PowerShell 7 prompt, and in Windows ISE, Install-Module -Name NTFSSecurity works fine...

I ran command from my workstation's powershell and it worked.
I checked many random folders and now I am able to access folder.
Thank you for your help.
