Bug/Issue Folders are locked after 1.3 Update

    So I noticed that after the 1.3 update hit, I've been unable to delete or move a lot of the files inside Starbound that were present before the update. Any files that are added after the update hit can be removed. This has happened with another friend on the ilovebacons forums and I didn't see anyone else post it here, so I might as well.

    Oh, and I've already made sure I have every permission possible on my user account to make it so I SHOULD be able to do this, but it hasn't worked.

    Try to "take over" the folder by changing the owner to yourself and apply the changes to all subfolders. Then set the other permissions for the user accounts on your machine.

    So I've given myself ownership, given myself full control of the folder, and the same image I attached above appeared. Still can't do anything about the Starbound directory. I've read multiple online guides on how to "Take ownership of folders and files" and they're the exact same. I've followed those steps and still nothing. It's ONLY the Starbound directory that's causing the problems.

    Another way could be a reinstall of starbound or accessing the folder as admin. For a reinstall i'd suggest accessing the folder as admin and make a backup of the storage folder first.

    Actually, after I uninstalled Starbound I tried to move one of the mods I had installed, and a message popped up saying that the folder is in use, and that's its open in another program. What could possibly be using that mod? This goes the same for every other folder but I'm using the mod as an example.

    Well shit

    This sounds really strange :eek: Normally this shouldn't happen at all. You may want to check your OS with an antivirus software just in case. Also try restarting your system and try the install again.

    On a sidenote:
    Please avoid double posts. I merged them.

    I restarted my computer and Starbound is back up! The folders are still locked though....

    Maybe it is the windows UAC because it is installed in the program files folder. Try turning it off.

    I tried. Nothing happened. Luckily the only thing that I'm worried about moving around is the single outdated mod I have, and It doesn't seem to be having an effect on anything because it's outdated. I guess the only solution from here is calling a tech support or getting a new computer (Which I will do at one point in the future because I really want one anyways)
