Re: how to revoke owner rights in a directory or file ?

Someone is going to have to be the owner, whether it's Administrator, the
current employee, or a special account you set up for this purpose. The
system will require files and folders have to have an owner, which is the
account that can control permissions regardless of other security settings.
For example, someone could maliciously or accidentally set "everyone" to
"deny," effectively blocking all access to the data. In that case, the
owner would be the one to reset the permissions and regain access.

Those numbers are the SID of a deleted account. You should change the owner
and delete that entry.

In the properties of the file or folder, go to the Security tab, click
Advanced, and go to the Owner tab. Note the check box at the bottom to
change the owner on subfolders and objects in addition to the selected
one.
