    download problems with a large game on the microsoft store


    i was in the middle of a download for a game from the Microsoft store when I turned off my computer. when I came back on, it was not downloading and it was not in my library. when i search up the game it says i have not downloaded it. when i try to redownload it says that i don't have enough storage. this means that the download stopped and now i am stuck with a half downloaded file of the game that i cant find and Microsoft store doesnt show it.

    :)
