    I can't seem to find any way of changing the file location on the Microsoft Store for the games I have already downloaded and also the games that I want to download.

    On the Microsoft Store, how do I change the location of the games I've downloaded or the games being downloaded?

    Hi Adil!

    Are you on Windows 10 or Windows 11?

    If the game is movable to a different drive, you should be able to do that by going to the PC Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Find the game > menu or option icon > Move.

    To set your download location, go to Settings app >> System >> Storage >> Advanced Storage Settings >> Where new content is saved.

    Is it possible to change the downloads location for games without the need to delete all the other apps on that drive.

    Hello Bruceneo,

    To change Download Location, you need to install the games using the Microsoft Store. To do that, go to this link.

    Hope I helped you!

    The first method of changing the drive location will not work as I explained why in my original post. With that in mind what you are suggesting is the only real way to do it is to install the game to the C drive, then move it to the games drive?

    If so will it prompt me to delete any of my other games that are already on the games drive? If it does then this does not work for me.

    GTA San Andreas disappeared

    Yeah, had the same problem, but I've noticed, that Microsoft had not (yet?) removed SA from other stores. So I've changed Xbox location (Settings-System-Location) to Russia and downloaded the same GTA:SA again (it's still fully in English, but it's a Rockstar
    game, so there should not be any issues in any other region as well). Now I have two copies of the same game, but only one of them currently works. They both share same save files and achievements, so no problems on that side. Looks like I'll never shut down
    my Xbox nor close that game until I 100% it, in case Microsoft decides to remove that copy too. And while that can be just a temporary bug, it makes me wonder: how can I trust Microsoft store, while they can just remove something I've paid for and make it
    look like I've newer owned it?
