    Have to redownload a game onto another drive


    I downloaded Forza Horizon 5 yesterday but paused it at around 70%. I did this on my 256GB SSD where I had around 130GB free (Forza takes up 101GB). I restarted my pc accidentally after pausing the download now I have to redownload Forza onto another drive but my previous download is still taking up space on my 256GB SSD and I can't access or delete those files. Is there no way for me to find already downloaded files on the game pass/Microsoft store app and continue with the download because now I essentially have 101GB of space I can never get back on my SSD.

    :)

    Have to redownload a game onto another drive

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community. Given the problem you are having, I suggest you try the procedure below.

    (Some users have reported that this allows downloading the game)

    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.

    - If that works, the download will probably pick up where it left off.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you

    Have to redownload a game onto another drive

    Thank you for the reply

    I managed to delete the files in my Windows Apps folder where my original download was saved by giving myself permissions in the advanced security settings for windows apps this allowed me to go into the WindowsApps folder and delete the file.

    Thank you for the help but I will just redownload the game fully.

    I would also appreciate if the Microsoft Store/Xbox Game Pass app allows you to discover existing files so people don't have to have this problem.
