    How do i Restore/Install Xbox Game Pass games from an exsternal,


    So i signed into my Microsoft account on a laptop at my buddies place and downloaded all the xbox game pass games onto my external hard drive as he has a 1g line and i have a 5mb line at home, i downloaded 800gs of games but the xbox app isnt "seeing" the games iv downloaded onto the exsternal after connecting the hard drive to my main rig,

    i dont mind if i cant play them and have to install them again using my main rig, the issue i have now is i have 800g worth of hidden game files that i would like to delete so i have more space again

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    :)

    Hi,

    The games would be been installed to a folder called 'WindowsApps'. Please follow this guide to help you delete this folder. Part of this guide won't apply to you, so scroll down to the part that says Deleting WindowsApps folder

    Once done you can also delete 'WpSystem' and 'WUDownloadCache' folders. These folders are not protected.

    This should free up the lost space on your drive. Much better than formatting the 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.

    I'll suggest you reformat the external hard drive as that might be the only way to retrieve the space. Unfortunately you won't be able to play those games and you'll need to install them again using the PC you want to play them on.
