I fixed it, by removing all my "d:\game_installs" and Steam_directory off the drive, formatting the drive, and then changing location of windows 10 default apps. it took about 2 hrs to move everything :S theres gotta be an easier way to manipulate microsoft apps and folders than formatting a drive?

 

remove game data from xbox game in windows 10

I appreciate your reply. It seems that the game progress was saved to your Xbox account associated on your computer that's why you can't play the game from the beginning. I recommend that you remove the account on your computer by performing the following
steps:

1. Press the Windows icon, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
2. Select Accounts.
3. Under Email & app accounts, click the Microsoft account, then click Remove.

I also suggest that you reset the Xbox app on your computer so that we could ensure that no account is linked to it. To get started, kindly follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
2. Go to Apps.
3. Under Apps & features, locate the Xbox app.
4. Click the Xbox app, then select Advanced options.
5. Click Reset.

Let us know if that works for you. We'd be glad to further assist you.

 

"We Couldn't Set Your Default Save Location" Error 0x80070005

Hello.

I got the Xbox Game Pass for PC and I want to download my games on my D: drive, which has more space than my C: and is set up for installing all my games on other programs. It says it is not set up to save games when I try to install one, so I click "Set
it as your default location for where new apps are saved". I try to change where new apps are saved from me C: drive to my D:. But when I click "Yes" it says, "We Couldn't Set Your Default Save Location". This is very frustrating because I bought the Game
Pass for games, not to be stopped with an error. If you can, please help me. Thank you
