Windows 10: How to fix gamepass deleting other files and folders when dowloading a game??

I recently selected a new game to download but since the original D:drive for gamepass was almost full i choosed a different location the E:drive. After the download of 100gb for the new game completed, i notice every other app and files that was previously installed on the E:drive are gone. On the desktop all the icons from those app transform into a blank sheet. I checked the recycle bin justincase i can recover them but the files were not there. Apps can b reinstalled but Im really sad about pics and videos that were also on the E:drive.. If GamePass need its own drive, there should

Games with gamepass redirect on store page for the gaming service instead launching games

As per title, i can't play games with gamepass.
I recently had other problems installing via gamepass, and solved them with the "wsreset -i" command (suggested here in the forum)

I've tried already:

reinstall or reset game services, both from settings / app and from PowerShell

windows update has no updates

restore xbox app and store

Update: deleting with start unlocker all the folders of all my games, and downloading all of them again fixed the problem,
