Did bitdefender write protect my SSD?

Hello there

Yesterday I ran a full system scan with bitdefender overnight. It found a couple of problems which it deleted. Today I can no longer delete or edit anything from my secondary ssd, when I try to give myself the permission to, I get error messages saying that the files are all write protected.
Scanning the ssd through the properties panel told me that there was a problem and that I need to repair it. Running chkdsk or whatever the diagnosis command is called doesnt work though because again its write protected.

I know it must've happened from the scan because just before I did it, I installed a game on the ssd and it worked fine, if I attempt to install or delete any game now it just gives me the disk write error.
I heard bitdefender sometimes detects non malicious files as malware, could it be that it deleted some system files accidentally that made this happen. Ether way today I reset my pc to see if it fixes it but the problem persists which makes me fear it might be bricked...so is this a bitdefender problem or just weird timing and my ssd just killed itself? (Also no idea if that would be the right category for this)
