Problem recovering my installed game

so u are telling me that i can't clone an HD with Xbox pass game on it? Because i really can't do nothing anymore with my xbox app, i can't install game on that HD nor delete the old one. The only solution that i've found is to force access on that folder
and manually delete the game, hoping that, then, windows can recognize that folder as empty and allow me to install over there.

Maybe that's a problem Windows need to solve

Well...

I couldn't force myself into the folder, in the new hd, but i could in the old one. So the only think i thought it was to remove the folder from the old hd and re-cloning the newest. So now i can install my app on the new hd.

I think that cloning hd doesn't work for the xbox app and that's something to work on.

Hey Buffalmacco

Thank you for taking the time to reply to this thread.

You can definitely force your way into that folder, delete that title, and see if you are able to proceed to install the game regularly, however, if this does not work, then as suggested by XBF
Javier R, formatting your console would be the only other thing that we can perform on your machine.

If you can provide for us the results of this procedure, it should assist others whom encounter a similar scenario as this.

Hi Macco,

The reason why it is acting this way is you don't own the game pass games. These folders and such are locked and hidden for this reason. As Javier posted the FAQ should help with this issue.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello Buffalmacco88,

We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns an inability to install your game after cloning your new hard drive from your Windows PC.

While cloning is a fast way to copy content from partition to another, it seems to have caused corruption that may involve needing to reformat the hard drive and installing games manually. The error received is most often recognized as a launch error for
games on Xbox One, but you may attempt to reformat the hard drive to begin new installations for your games. Are you installing content through the

Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta)? Our suggestion here, you may attempt to follow our
Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) FAQsupport article for direct assistance with errors while using said app.
