    I can't change new apps location. Error 0x80070005.


    I recently subscribed to game pass and tried to install a game.Since i don't have enough space on c: i tried to install it somewhere else,but that didn't work.If i try to change the location for new apps in windows it asks me if i want to "delete other apps" and gives me the same error with the code: 0x80070005.I even tried deleting the old "WindowsApps" as i saw on a post here but that didn't solve the problem.

    :)

    I found quite a lot of same posts on the internet about it. They you to give your self full permission in the packages folder. I already have that however. The help ends here from the internet and I don't know what to do now.

    Can't Update Apps From Windows Store Error 0x80070005

    Hi, please do this as a matter of routine:
    From an admin command prompt
    [Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
    chkdsk C: /F
    Your PC will need to restart.
    Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.
    Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
    How do I see the results of a CHKDSK that ran on boot? - Ask Leo!

    Then re-register apps:
