Hi Jeppeandersson.
My name is Ezequiel. I'm an Independent Consultant and I'm happy to help you today. It really is a rather uncommon issue you need to recover your account first so you can log in to your game again.
To recover your account is very simple. Go to account.microsoft.com and sign in.
Enter the security code that was sent to your account.
Follow the onscreen prompts to retrieve account details and add the profile to your Xbox console.
If you know the email address you used to set up your Microsoft account, you can reset your password now.
Go to https://account.live.com/acsr to complete the account recovery form. The more information you include when filling out the form, the better your chances of regaining access to your account.

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble when trying to sync your progress in Forza Horizon 5. Let's try to sort this out, but before that please tell me:

Is this happening only with Forza Horizon 5?
Are you playing the version available on the Xbox app/Microsoft store or are you playing the one from Steam?
Is this happening with more games from the Microsoft store or just Forza Horizon 5?
May I know if you tried using a different internet connection in your PC?
And what procedures you tried to fix this inconvenience?

I downloaded the Forza 5 for the first time via Microsoft Store, i played and i deleted the game. (I played with gamepass)

I bought Forza 5 from Steam and i linked my xbox account with steam, but when i start the game and logged in with my xbox account, my all progress is gone.

May I know which edition or Forza Horizon 4 are you trying to delete, the Steam version or the Microsoft store version?

Additionally, may I know how are you trying to delete the game, by deleting the whole folder?
