How can I permanently remove axcrypt encryption from my files and folders?

[jeff]

I have a ton of files and folders on my computer all over the place, and I want to decrypt them all, basically all at one whack, rather than one-by-one.

I put in File Explorer (win11 pro) to find any axx or .axx files. It pulled them up, I highlighted them all, then to decrypt. I thought maybe it was doing them and knew it’d take a while but after a while I thought it was just getting hung up and wasn’t getting anywhere. Mind you, some files were also encypted with bitlocker and zipped, if that makes any difference.

I stopped the process through task manager.

I go back and start doing some folders separately. It’s possible some docs inside the folder have never been decryped, and some have been. I right click the folder, decrypt. I open the folder, and there might be several docs still showing up as encrypted.

Some folders I select decrypt, I can then open the folder, but when I exit the folder, it still shows the icon that it’s encrypted.

How can I remove the encryption from all my files and folders permanently?
