    Forza Horizon 5 shortcut disappeared


    I installed forza horizon 5 a day or two ago and went to try to play it fully well knowing the game isn't released until thursday.

    I got the normal "you're too early dialogue" and I clicked the store link to see if I could get an exact time for when I could boot up the game.

    The store then tried to reinstall the game and it threw an error because I don't have the space for a second installation of a 100+ gb game.

    Then my shortcut for the game disappeared and I have no clue how to fix this or even try to launch the game.

    I found the game installed under E:\WindowsApps\Microsoft.624F8B84B80_3.405.2.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

    But I cannot delete this folder to try to reinstall the game, nor can I fix the shortcut issue previously mentioned.

    How can I go about fixing this?

    EDIT: I uninstalled many things off my drive to make space for a reinstall. I was able to attempt a redownload and the microsoft store recognized the install existed on my system and fixed the shortcuts. Leaving this post up for anyone else that needs this information.
    To the people that took the time to answer, you are all amazing souls and I hope you have an amazing life! I cannot understate how much I appreciate you all taking time to answer this post Forza Horizon 5 shortcut disappeared :D

    :)

    Hi Jesse,

    I took a look into that folder and it seems to be empty.

    To confirm I am looking in the right folder, I am here: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\DeliveryOptimization\Cache

    How should I proceed?

    Thank you for your help,

    Sorry about that. Sometimes that path takes you to a game when the installation has been cut short. Sadly since it isn't there, there's no other way to access it I know og

    Hi SwordOfWhedon,

    I have tried that, but unfortunately I cannot change the owner of the file, even as an administrator on my system.

    The change button is grayed out and I cannot select it, nor edit the permissions in that same menu.

    Any other ideas on how to proceed?

    I appreciate your help though :D

    You need to take ownership of the folder, and use the view menu to show hidden files. Then you can delete the bad installation
