Xbox (Beta) App for PC is not seeing the games on drive.

Nuri Efe TATLI · Aug 3, 2020

I had to install a fresh W10 on my computer and the games were downloaded to my second drive.

I downloaded the app back and now it does not see the games on the drive.

Is there a way to make it see the games?

If not how do i erase them ?

this is why i gave up with windows store and gamepass pc, you will need to take ownership and change permissions on the microsoft folders on your secondary drive, you may have to google this one, as i had to do this also in the end. it is the only way to
delete those folder. it is a real faff.

try this link to see if it helps

Ok but how do i erase them?

They are still on my drive, they are still occupying space and unfortunately i cannot delete everything on that drive.

when you change the default save location under settings it will delete whatever is in the microsoft encrypted folder not the whole drive.

it wont, you have to redownload the lot, microsoft in all their wisdom decided to use encrypted folders and a system where if you reset windows you have to download everything again, there is no way around it.

there are tutorials on how to eliminate them.

easiest way if it work is go to settings, storage and change where to store apps, changwe this to that drive and it should say that its not empty and ask to delete all.
