Can't change permissions to folders with a red circle and white line

Hello World -

I have several folder with a red circle and white line inside Macintosh hard drive folders. I ran disk utility and saw no changes. I zapped the PRAM and that did do anything else.

I cannot change permissions and get the following errors.

"The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission."

I tried to open folder and cannot move to trash. I get the following errors.

"The folder “LOREM” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."

Thank you everyone
