I accidentally dropped a folder in a folder named "found.001" on my c drive, and i cant move it back. none of the files inside the moved folder can be opened too. the folder is write protected and i cant change that attribute(no access). How can i move the folder back out? I really need those files back.

Just to comment. When making mistakes like that, what usually works is to immediately click Edit in the Menu bar, then click UNDO.
