omg! I had this same exact shit happen when I tried to delete the game folder for a game pass game. I spent literal hours escalating permissions, shifting ownership around and banging my head against the desk. Nothing from within Windows allowed me to gain sufficient power to delete that folder. That made me realize I didn’t own the computer I was using, Microsoft did. Live-cd booting into Ubuntu made for a quick resolution, though.
Pacific Drive for me! Played the demo and it seemed a pretty chill scavenging and driving game. I’ll get to it once I’m done with The Outer Worlds and its DLC.
