This is the fifth time that I've had to go through this process now of finding out randomly that my installation has decided to destroy itself for no apparent reason. Previously I thought these issues were popping up as a result of reboots but today my computer has been on, was even playing earlier, with no restarts and upon trying to launch today I was met with nothing. Unable to delete the files as I don't have permission even though my user is the one listed as having the permissions, and I've gone through and previously set it up so that everything in the ModifiableWindowsApps as well as the MutableBackup folder had full permissions for everyone just to be safe, and that was not more than 16 hours ago with me having no issues at the time copying and renaming files for the lobby lag fix. Now I can't change permissions at all because my system fails to enumerate the objects in the container, whatever the heck that means.

I've spent more time troubleshooting this game since it came out than I have playing it and have lost control of my own computer as a result of Microsoft's bull. I'm really hoping someone can help me out here, because if I can't find a fix I can't keep trying to play this game.

I had the game installed this morning, played it a bit before work, and left my computer on while I was. There was a power outage, my PC rebooted, and when I get off of work and change over to my gaming PC I find that the PSO2 installation won't work. Tried the direct file path, tried shortcuts, tried the windows store, find out that it needs to be reinstalled. Hit reinstall, nothing. Hit it a few more times, get a few more nothings. So I go about tracking down every single piece of the game that I can to remove it manually and try again, only to find that the MS Store has dumped an extra 50 gb of data onto my drive in a folder I don't have access to. So I grant myself access, delete the folder, try the MS store installation again. Bar fills, I download 11 gigs of data, and there's an error. Check the WindowsApp folder, and there are now TWO sets of files, each containing 11 gigs' worth, but the folder they're in only states that there is 11 gigs being used. There is one user account for this computer, it is mine, and the folders read that I am the owner but I STILL cannot delete them at this point. It can't decide whether I can't delete them because they're open, or I can't delete them because I don't have permission. The error code I am receiving from the store is 80070003, which seems to refer to duplicate files in the intended directory. Files that I cannot delete currently, and that deleting once in the past did not prevent.
