Answer:

Take ownership of the folder and then change permissions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The New Technology file system or a NTFS may be defined as a file system of proprietary journaling. It was developed by Microsoft. It is used to store, find or organize file efficiently in the hard disc.

In the context, if I am having a difficulty in changing permission of a folder on an NTFS that was created by some other user, the best way to solve the issue is to take ownership of the folder and change the permissions. The owner of the file can have the full permission. This way the data is not lost.
