  1. Cannot run, reinstall or delete The Outer Worlds


    I pre-loaded The Outer Worlds and played it on release, however today when i went to play it it would not recognize it as being installed. I tried to reinstall it on my D: drive but it would not work however it would install on my C: drive. I went searching through my D: drive and found the hidden folder in WindowsApps and found that all the files were still there. Most of the files i do not have the permissions to modify, move or delete so the files are stuck on my D: drive and i cannot play the game using them and i cannot delete them to reinstall the game, because when i try to install the game it sees that there are already the files there even though the windows store will not recognize them to run the game. I tried changing the permissions for the folder however the folder belongs to system so i cannot change the permissions with the admin account.

    :)

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Cannot run, reinstall or delete The Outer Worlds :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
