Hi,
It is the list of users and groups that are shown on the security tab that specify who can access a file or folder, not who owns it. Owning the folder means that you alone currently have the right to alter permissions on it, but by removing yourself from the list you denied yourself access. Add yourself to the security list and you'll be able to get in.....
