How can i remove the permission on denied folder?

Question

private bool GrantAccess(string fullPath)
{
        DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(fullPath);
        DirectorySecurity dSecurity = dInfo.GetAccessControl();
        dSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null), FileSystemRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit | InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit, PropagationFlags.NoPropagateInherit, AccessControlType.Allow));
        dInfo.SetAccessControl(dSecurity);
        return true;
}

Am using this method for remove the denied permission but its not working, please if any help to fix this.

You should run your application as administrator! And if you are debugging, simply run visual studio as administrator. — Vinod Kumar, Jul 03 '15 at 13:00
