Windows 10: Can't download Football Manager 2020 from Microsoft Store

Hi,


I already downloaded and installed the Football Manager 2020 from Microsoft Store a few weeks ago. After playing for just one day, I tried launching a few days later and it couldn't load the games page.


I encountered some issues with my PC and had to reset the PC which led to losing the game files and the game from my PC; Having paid for this game I went back to the Microsoft Store to download and install the game again, but to my utmost surprise, I am still unable to download or even install this game.


If I can't download this game again, is it possible for me to get a refund of the amount I paid since I am currently unable to derive utility for the amount I paid? Or is it some kind of scam service?


Thanks for your anticipated help.

How can I free up space taken up by an incomplete Microsoft Store download?

Found the solution. Steps I used to fix this:

1. Open the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder, which is where the Windows Store puts its downloads. The WindowsApps folder isn't permissioned to normal users, so this has to be done using some utility that's being run as administrator (either a command prompt window, or some other file manager like 7zip; h/t ManSamVampire for the 7zip suggestion). DO NOT assign ownership of the WindowsApps folder to your own user account to gain access to it, as doing so will cause major problems and can't be easily undone (h/t Ramhound's answer for this warning).
   
2. Sort the subfolders inside WindowsApps by the date they were last modified; this will let you easily find the folders that have recently had new stuff put into them.
   
3. In my case, the offending subfolder was called MSIXVC, which is apparently a type of installer used by the Windows Store. Inside, I had an anomalous 37GB file created last night with no file extension, called "8BBF2763-A1C6-4F1B-96CA-B79DD5FDA4EE". Given that this file was enormous, created at the right time, and in a subfolder suggesting it was an installer, I concluded that this was the droid I was looking for.
   
4. From within your run-as-administrator utility, delete the offending file. I deleted the ginormous, bafflingly-named file from the MSIXVC folder, and lo and behold I had all my disk space back!
   

Now redownloading and installing Outer Worlds. This time I'll know better than to turn off my computer partway through.
