Windows 10: I have two ModifiableWindowsApps folders, one on my C: drive and one on my D: drive, the...

I had an Xbox game on my C: drive, but after some time I uninstalled it because I needed space. Then I got a D: drive, and I installed that game in there; when the game finishes its installation, I am able to run it, but if I turn off my PC and turn it on and try to run the game again, I can't. I know that the ModifiableWindowsApps folder is used to run the game, so I figured that the game couldn't launch because I had that extra ModifiableWindowsApps on my C: drive, so I deleted it and then I was able to run my game. The problem is that apparently everytime I run the game that ModifiableWindowsApps folder is automatically created on the C: drive again, and I have to delete it everytime I want to play the game. What can I do to stop deleting that folder over and over?

No C: but D: drive has all the data

Hi Austin,

To help you with your concern regarding the data on the drive C:, you're seeing the drive "C:" as the drive "D:" because you're booting your computer outside Windows. When booting your computer outside Windows, the system is reading the recovery partition
as drive C: and the data in the drive C: \ are listed on the drive D: \. Try to boot your computer and try to check again the data in the drive C: \ and see if the data are listed.

Regards.

D drive

Hi,

Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

• Type Command prompt in the search bar.
• Type-in the following command:
  
  attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*

If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.
