If the folders were in a My Documents folder
in a previous profile...that's normal behavior.

It's done for security reasons...to prevent different userss to have access
to each other private data

As long as you were able to get access to the files by taking ownership...
I doubt there was a problem.

There must have been something in there that was created by the former
profile.
