  1. Trying to move app to a different drive, Error Code 0x80070005


    Hi! I just downloaded the game called "Sea of Thieves" via Xbox Game Pass on my Windows 10 Home PC x64. i had to delete a bunch of stuff to make it fit on my primary SSD where Windows runs from. I'd like to move it to my HDD with lots of space, but when i try to do so via Settings > AppsI get the following message:


    Delete other apps?

    This drive has apps from another device. To use this drive, the other apps must first be deleted. Do you want to continue? [Yes] [No]



    for context, this drive used to have Windows on it before i reinstalled it on the faster, smaller drive.

    so when i click Yes it gives me this error:


    We couldn't move Sea of Thieves

    The operation did not complete successfully. Try again in a bit.

    The error code is 0x80070005, in case you need it.


    can someone help me? i really need this game off my main drive.

    :)
