Angry Windows 10 Locked My Personal Files

I gave me aging laptop a Windows 10 Home refresh.

When all said and done, it took a bit to figure out, but one of my folders on one of my externals will not let me edit/etc my files. It is a folder of personal stuff. Spreadsheets, images, videos.

I have three images showing permissions of the folder:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/m7f3ly05vkmaz/perm

I can not seem to remove the permissions to edit my own files again. I had no problems two days ago before doing the refresh.

EDITED - I can copy files (only tested a few spreadsheets) to another external, even the main drive, and I can edit/delete/etc. However, I can not copy hundreds of gigabytes worth of files to test.

EDITED - Found another folder under the same external D:\ drive that is having the same issues.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
