Have you previously run podman init as administrator first time before trying to run it as
normal user?
It seems a directory permissions error to me. Maybe caused by the dirs first having been
created by Aministrator.

Hi,
for your info, and for the record:
having installed podman-desktop 0.9.1 on a Windows 10 machine, I
couldn't initialize it, due to the error message
mkdir C:\Users\jwi\.local\share\containers\podman: Access is denied.
Workaround has been as follows:
1.) Execute the command
podman machine init
as a non-privileged user (myself) failed with the same error.
2.) Execute the command
mkdir C:\Users\jwi\.local\share\containers\podman
as a privileged user (Administrazor) worked.
3.) Repeating the "podman machine init" command as an unprivileged user
works now, and Podman can be started.
What's suprising for me: I would have expected, that I should be able
to create a directory, that is located within my own home directory?
