  1. Cant remove Windowsapps folder left after game pass.


    Hello



    I had to reinstall my windows since my SSD failed. I had on another disk some games that I downloaded through the game pass. Now I reinstalled the game pass program and it doesn't see those games, I also can't link the folder with games.

    And if I try to shift+delete entire folder with games(Windowsapps) It does not let me. I took the ownership of windowsapps and all the subfolders, yet I am getting the error 0x80004005. Right now it takes 170GB on my disk, any solution without formating the entire disk?

  2. Cannot delete the WindowsApps folder (made by Game Pass PC)

    So I had to format my SSD but I didn't delete anything from my D drive.. So the problem is that when I reinstalled Game Pass, I cant switch the default install location to D because there is the "WindowsApps" folder which cannot be deleted. (before the reason
    was permissions but now its that "The folder or a file in it is opened in another program" I cant remember the quote but you know what I mean .. I'm about to freak out with this..

    Here is some steps I've tried

    Changed the permissions, I have full access according to windows.

    Force delete from CMD

    Disk cleaner programs

    (Cant delete any games because Game Pass app doesn't think I have games)

    resmon.exe and looked at associated handles, ended tasks there.

    Why don't you take full ownership of your windowsapp folder then manually delete the game files.
