When you got a refund on Minecraft Launcher it was removed from your device.

Hello!

I'm an independent advisor and a member of the Xbox Community just like you.

I will be glad to help you.

Look for the purchase of the game in "Minecraft for Windows" or "Minecraft Java" version through your purchase history

If you locate it and the status is "Completed", make sure you're signed in to the account that purchased the game in the Microsoft Store, the Xbox app, the Xbox Console Companion app, and the Minecraft launcher.

Then try these steps with the Microsoft Store and the Minecraft launcher.

Select Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features.

Apps & features in Settings

Select the More icon next to the app you want to fix.

Select the Advanced options link under the name of the app (some apps don't have this option). On the page that opens, select Repair if it's available. If it isn't available or doesn't fix the problem, select Reset.

I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

Best Regards.

If you bought it on a Mojang account some time ago, the Mojang system should have asked you to perform an account migration to a Microsoft account.

Only the migrated Microsoft account or the Microsoft account with which you directly purchased the game can access it, if it is locked, unfortunately you will not be able to use the game.

Unfortunately i can't do that because the email i bought it with i'm completely locked out of and its now not letting me log back into anything ! whoops

i also bought it back before microsoft owned minecraft and so i bought it through mojang i think
