If you want to change the install location you have to remove the app and install it on the same drive you want the games you download from it to install to.

So i see the problem is with WindowsApp folder that i can't delete. Already changed permissions and still getting error. All i can see its OuterWorlds from Xbox Beta App. Already uninstalled 4 months ago. So how is this even possible? How can i delete
it ?

Sorry I misspelled. I meant i can't download to those two partitions

Thanks for replying The Xbox app on PC installs games to the C: drive by default.
Although you can change the default installation location in the app's settings, some users have also told me that the app still returns to the C: drive by default. This could be a bug or a problem with the app.

Here is a link to change location:

It sounds like you are having trouble installing games from the Xbox Game Pass on your D drive.

Make sure that you have enough free space on your D drive to install the games.

Check if there are any updates available for the Xbox Game Pass app and install them.

Try resetting the Xbox Game Pass app:

On your Xbox One console, go to "My games and apps"

Navigate to the Xbox Game Pass app and press the "Menu" button on your controller.

Select "Manage app" and then "Reset".

Confirm the reset and try installing the game again.

If none of the above steps help, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox Game Pass app. Make sure to select the D drive as the installation location when you reinstall it.
