Windows 10: Unable to download or install apps/move storage folder from C: to E:

Hi


Just as the subject says, I am so frustrated with this as this is my PC and I have full administrator control yet I am unable to install a large game from Microsoft Store that I own but have managed to install a smaller game on my OS drive C:. I want to use my larger storage drive E: to store games and files but when I try to change location from settings, it says "Something went wrong" and gives an error code which I found on the internet is "Access Denied".


I've done extensive searches online and tried different methods with no success! Can I please get some advice and I don't want to reinstall Windows and reinstall all my games.


Thanks

:)

 

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

Thanks for replying, but I don't even have a "Windows App" folder...
