    Installed to wrong drive - Cannot remove part-install


    I started downloading FH3 onto my PC and after 20GB got a disk full error. It was only then I realised in error I had started installing it on by SSD C: drive which is now completely full. I've restarted the download on one of my other drives but I now
    can't remove the part-install and I have a completely full C: drive.

    I've found the windowsapps folder on the c: drive but, due to permissions (I understand it's encrypted), I can't delete FH3 to release the disk space.

    Can anyone provide any advice on how I can delete this?

    Many thanks

    Andrew

    Xbox Digital games stuck on queue

    I have all my games digital but the past week I cannot download/install anything. I preordered the Halo5 and today Star Wars beta and GWG Valliant Hearts. All are stuck on queue and after a while it will say installing then quickly changes back to queue and a failed installation message pops up.
    I have a 1TB external hard drive with 56% left. I removed the hard drive and nothing would install on the internal drive either. I deleted the games and reselected them to install.
    I did 3 hard restarts on the xbox one. I'm at a loss here

    my xbox wont read discs

    Well, how you can install the game if it is unreadable in the first place?

    Unless you remove the drive and use another console, then save the game. However this does not work for some games due to licensing issue.

    How to Get the Xbox for PC app to find games installed before Windows Reinstallation

    Hello AspieGuy! I'm Claus, an Independent Microsoft Community Consultant for Xbox! Glad to be able to help you!

    Those games cannot be used by your new Windows installation. You would have to format the drive where those games are installed, or remove the WindowsApps folder, and then you'd be able to install the again.

    Digital downloads installation stopped

    Hi, !

    Could you give more details about your problem?

    Your hard drive is correctly formatted to Xbox games?

    The problem happens while installing apps?

    Is it possible that the game(s) you're trying to install are already (partially) installed on your console's internal drive, and the internal drive is full?
    Hard drive is correctly formatted.

    I addressed all your questions in my post. I cannot transfer games to my external drive, only apps. As soon as I try and move them, they stop installation. I have completely removed games from my internal drive, they still will not download to the external
    drive.

    Can't copy game from DVD to HDD

    It is true that Minecraft cannot be installed on to the hard drive. The Star Wars game is an older one as well and more than likely cannot be installed either.

    Thank you! This solved part of the problem. The other problem which was told to me by Windows was that I was installing it to my hard drive which does not have Windows installed. I had to put it on the drive where Windows was installed.

    Games are installing on the wrong drive

    So the Xbox folder was good enough for a time but not permanently. However, XboxGames is good permanently? I'll trust you on that even though it makes no sense. The old install folder that it was told to look for E:Xbox was still there since I was running games from it. It's just confusing since in 30 years of computer use I've never had a program ignore the folder that it was told to look for and show that folder as the default while defaulting to another location while the folder still exists.
