So, I had an admin account on my computer. I created another one from it named Rahul Holani, and I later changed it to RahulHolani. I deleted the previous user and began working on the new one. Later I realized I cannot access a hard drive named 382 GB Volume and another one named 10 GB Volume. I have tried many commands including
sudo chown -R 777 /382 GB Volume, sudo chown -R 777 /382-GB-Volume and sudo chown -R 777 -382GBVolume but nothing seems to work.

To me, it sounds like you aren't using the correct path to your drive. You need to find the mountpoint of your drive, and change the permissions of that folder.
To find the mountpoint, open a terminal and type mount. This will show you a list of all the partitions mounted, and where they are mounted. Find your device and remember where it's mounted. If you don't know the device name, it will usually be mounted someplace in /media. Then use sudo chmod -R 777 /media/your_mountpoint, and it should work.
