Re-installed Windows 10 on my SSD, I keep all my games on a separate drive, it seems like I cant just re-install my Windows store games by re-locating them in the app, like with steam, game has to be re-downloaded regardless apparently, seeing as Gears 4 is like 100GB nearly, want to delete it before its redownloaded.

However I haven't got the access to the games folder, i guess its from where the folder was created on my previous OS install, how can I delete this folder?

Or alternatively, is there a way I can get the windows store/xbox app to re-locate the game folder to save me re-downloading it?

Thanks

ah the windows store games, this was an annoying one, you HAVE to change the folder name and some stuff from registry as well. That or you should be able to just uninstall the games from the windows store.

But regardless you should be able to takeover the folders if you didn't encrypt the volumes?
