    Forza Horizon 5 failing to install then taking up the disk space


    Hey, so I just tried installing forza horizon 5 after clean booting my pc. about 10 minutes in it was still pending so i decided to stop the install. after stopping the install and going at it again i noticed that it had taken the 100 gb of my drive but i have no game. If you could help me out that would be great I've been looking everywhere to find an answer and this is my last hope before wiping my drive

    :)

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    Programs and apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store are installed in the following path by default: C:/Program Files/WindowsApps (Hidden items). To check hidden items, open This PC, click View and select Hidden items.

    To take over the folder;

    - Here is the path you should follow: C:program Files.

    - Go to View and check the box next to Hidden items.

    - Locate the Windows Apps folder and right-click on it.

    - Select Properties from the drop-down menu.Select Security. Then select Advanced.

    - Go to Owner. There click Change.Enter Microsoft account email address.

    - Check the box next to ‘Replace owner on subcontainers and objects’.

    - Apply your changes.

    - Locate and click your account in the list. Click Edit.

    Forza Horizon 5 failing to install then taking up the disk space

    Sorry mate, already looked in there and there’s nothing forza related including Packages\Microsoft.624F8B84B80_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs\, that is suppose to be the forza horizon 5 file name. Any other suggestions?

    Forza Horizon 5 - Install Issues/Hard Drive Issues

    I have reinstalled the xbox game pass app.

    It is still showing Forza Horizon 5 as uninstalled.

    When attempting to install, it shows 110gb of storage space free (I know that this should be closer to 220-230gb)- suggesting that the failed install from last night is still hogging drive space.

    If I try to install Forza Horizon 5 again, it lingers on "preparing install" before failing without any error messages

    It seems like there is some corrupt data somewhere that I need to clear both to free up space and allow me to reinstall the game.

    Forza Motorsport 7 is a perfect black screen simulator

    I also forgot to mention, Forza Horizon 5 works just fine, and it is installed on drive C: but Forza Motorsport 7 has the problem and it is installed on drive D: (to save space on C:)

    Forza Horizon 5 gets stuck on preparing and then cancles - Windows 11

    This is what helped me and got Forza to download.
    1. Go into the Microsoft Store and search Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition.
    2. Next you want to click on Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition and you want to click Install from the Xbox app.
    3. This will take you to the Xbox app and when it takes you to the Forza game scroll down and look at the tab named "Included in this bundle" And click Forza Horizon 5.
    4. This should take you to the regular Forza Horizon 5 game rather than the Standard Edition, And then you want to click install and this should download the game.

    Hope this helps have a good day!
