How to use apps installed on a external hdd if, those apps were installed on tha drive via another system?

Hi,
I was using my old laptop's hdd in my desktop as primary drive and an external hdd for storing big apps and games etc.
I installed some games from the Windows store on that external hdd.
Now, I have swapped the internal drive with an ssd and clean installed Win10. Now my external hdd still has those games but I can't access them. And since they are taking a good amt of space I thought of deleting those games but it says I don't have permission.

Now, I think, I can simply boot from my old hdd and uninstall those games, then again boot from my ssd and reinstall them. But, is their another way?
I am using the same MS account, so is there any way I can gain access using my MS account?

just right click on your external drive. go to properties. security. make sure you ONLY have these in the list.

Authenticated Users
System
Users
Administrators

then apply it to all subfolders. you should be able to delete them now.

Ok, I tried this, but while the saving security settings process is going on it says failed to apply settings for Windows Apps folder, that's where Win10 from my old hdd installed all those apps.

okay go to this site below and follow the instructions. normally SYSTEM as the owner should work for you. you can change it to your own account name.
