win10 unable to open file folder

Using Windows 10 – Pro, was in the process of installing a software on a local folder in C:/apps .
Now that folder has got locked – unable to open it.
I am admin on the machine – its a personal laptop.
Cant open the folder in Cmd or W.Explorer. In Cmd it says ‘access denied" , in Explorer it shows ‘read only" – cant click it open. I try unchecking the the readonly checkbox – it will uncheck but still not work, will go back – still checked.

I can access the folder using Powershell/admin. If I run ACL on the directory shows full Access

PS C:apps> Get-Acl c:apps | Format-List


Path   : Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreFileSystem::C:apps
Owner  : SB-DL-19sbaha
Group  : SB-DL-19sbaha
Access : NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM Allow  FullControl
         NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE Allow  FullControl
         BUILTINAdministrators Allow  FullControl
Audit  :

Tried giving access using PS:

PS C:apps> $acl = Get-Acl c:apps
PS C:apps> $owner = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTINAdministrators")
PS C:apps> $acl.SetOwner($owner)
PS C:apps> Get-Acl c:apps | Format-List

Nothing changed.

I cant open the folder in CMD (without admin) or Explorer?

Further the software stored some config in C:WINDOWSsystem32configsystemprofileAppDataLocal – so also cant access C:WINDOWSsystem32config
