How do I remove encryption from a file?

Decrypt Files From Properties

Right-click on the encrypted file and select Properties. In the General tab, select Advanced. Now, uncheck the Encrypt contents to secure data radio box and click on OK.

Can you prevent files from being encrypted?

Right-click on the EFS folder, and select Properties. Change the option for “File encryption using Encrypting File System (EFS)” to “Don't Allow” or “Disable”.

Can encrypted data be copied?

If you copy an encrypted file from an encrypted folder to an unencrypted folder, the file remains encrypted. If you copy an encrypted file from an NTFS volume to a file allocation table (FAT) or FAT32 volume, the file becomes unencrypted.
