Hello Deepak,

Have you tried opening the folder in Safe Mode? Try that and if it works, copy data and reformat drive. Run the manufacturer's software to check for some errors. If you can not access that folder even in Safe Mode, try using the Chkdks /f command from the CMD.

More about chkdsk commands: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/technet-magazine/dd637756(v=msdn.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Hope this helps
