    Cannot delete/authorize myself to delete Gamepass games in WindowsApps


    To make a long story short: I had to wipe my C: drive and re-install Windows 10. Problem there is all my Xbox Gamepass games were set to install to my H: Drive. They're still there, but Gamepass does not recognize them. No problem, I can just delete and start over... right?Well, I can't. Solutions attempted: Tell Gamepass to install in H: Gamepass does not recognize the old WindowsApps folder. It also does not let me select the drive as a place I can save old games with the following error. Sometimes when freshly opened for the first time since a restart it'll let me click on H: without an err

    Had a Question..it was deleted --.--

    our policy is to delete only spam/inappropriate posts.

    the only person who can "hard delete" posts on the forums is me .. everybody else can just soft-delete the posts, the original author will see those posts in the threads list with a comment why it was deleted.

    to the poster it will look like this, without "manage"

    Xbox Gamepass hesabımdaki oyun silinmiyor.[Translation-The game on my Xbox Game Pass account is not deleted.]

    Selamlar. Ben Forza Horizon 4 oynamak için gamepass almıştım. Ve üyeliğim bitti. Sonrasında bu oyun diskimde çok yer kapladığı için silmek istedim. Fakat silinmiyor. Program kaldır kısmında gözükmüyor. Gamepass hesabıma giriyorum, yüklü oyunlara tıklıyorum
    hiç bir şey açılmıyor. Depolama yerim az kaldı silmek istiyorum. Yardımcı olun lütfen. Windowsapps adlı bir klasörde tutuluyor oyun. Önceden erişim sağlayamıyordum buradan attığınız videoyu izledim ve erişim sağladım. Sonrasında silmeye çalıştım. Bu klasörü
    silmek için yönetici izni sağlamalısınız diyor. Bende devama basıyorum. Sonrasında bu klasörde değişiklik yapmanız için administrators size izin vermeli diyor. Oysaki admin benim. Ne yapabilirim ne olur yardım edin. Silmek için illa tekrardan gamepass üyeliği
    mi almam mı lazım?

    [Translation-Greetings. I bought a gamepass to play Forza Horizon 4. And my membership is over. Afterwards, I wanted to delete this game because it took up a lot of space on my disc. But it is not deleted. The program does not appear in the uninstall
    section. I log into my Gamepass account, click on installed games, nothing opens. I want to delete my storage space is short. Help me please. The game is kept in a folder called windowsapps. Previously, I could not access it, I watched the video you posted
    here and accessed it. Then I tried to delete it. It says you must provide administrator permission to delete this folder. I keep going, too. It then says administrators must allow you to make changes to this folder. Whereas I am the admin. What can I do, please
    help. Do I have to get a gamepass membership again to delete it?
