hello, I have two hard drives, one main with operating system, and the second with gamesgame pass for pc and applications.

then I had to reinstall my operating system, the second hard drive has the games and applications still.

¿Is there any way for the xbox app to recognize the games already installed on the other HDD? Or, failing that, how can I delete the folder whitout format the disk where those games are because it doesn't allow deleting them when pressing the delete key
