Try this:
Reboot. Log-on as administrator. Go to folders and secure Full Control as
administrator. Also gain Ownership. (right click > properties > Security >
Advanced). Then try coping or moving files as administrator with Full Control
and Ownership.
You may have to reboot after gaining Full Control and Ownership before
trying to copy folders/files.
