Error updating translators

ericms
I keep getting an error when trying to update the translators. The debug log says access denied, not sure why? This happens on both my PC and laptop.

    That points to either folders and files in your Zotero data directory having incorrect permissions or, more likely on Windows, security software interfering with Zotero's ability to write to the disk. The latter is more likely if you used Zotero for Firefox previously and still have your data directory within the Firefox profile. (The upcoming Zotero 5.0 will automatically move the data directory to a "Zotero" directory in your home directory to avoid problems like that, so you could try moving it there now.)

    If you don't think it's security software, you can try deleting the 'styles' and 'translators' directories in the your Zotero data directory and seeing if that fixes the problem.

    It was the file permissions, some parts were read only. Not sure why, but anyways that fixed it. Thanks!
