Answer 3

Hi Soumyadeep,

Rest assured, changing permissions on that specific folder will not cause any problem on your PC, however, please be careful changing permissions on other system folders on your PC, you can cause you PC not to boot up if you do that to the wrong folder.

No it is not opening at first. So i change its owner and permission. But after changing permission i see that it is empty and nothing happen. So i want to know will it create any problem for changing its permission and ownership

Answer 5

Hi Soumyadeep,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

I checked that folder on my 3 laptops, it is empty, so I doubt you will have any difficulty after changing permissions on that folder.

Why did you need to access that folder, were you following some tutorial online?
