windows - How to get permissions removed on files?

I used Windows 7 as my primary system for a long time and was sharing my libraries on homegroup. When I HAD TO format my laptop C: drive and installed Win 10, the pictures folder (On E:, non system drive, included in library) got locked and asks for administrator access. I granted it and I can see pictures now, but the security properties show an "Unknown Account" with a long alphanumeric. I set ownership, auditing and full control to my account. Then, for the sake of confirmation, I reset my PC, and I found that "Unknown account" is back and the permissions are like before. How do I get rid of every permissions/Auditing/Ownership? Is there a way to make the files completely normal?
