Change the Owner:

Take Ownership:

Another step to consider if the above steps failed is adding take ownership to the right click context menu.
1. Download the TakeOwnership.zip file from here.
2. Extract the RAR file to the Desktop or any folder to get a file named “Ownership.reg”. Note that if you want to see the extension “.reg” you need to enable it in “Folder Options” but it’s not necessary.
3. Right-click on Ownership.reg file and select Merge option.
4. Click “Yes” for the User Account Prompt (UAC) and then again click “Yes” for the Registry Editor pop up and then click “OK” when you get the successful message.
5. Now, you will see a new option named Take Ownership when you right-click on a file or folder.
6. Right-click on folder/file for which you want to take ownership and select TakeOwnership option to take ownership of the file or folder.
