How to reinstall tutorial projects?

Getting Started
1

I’ve had a few beginner projects installed for a while, and when I’ve recently tried to launch them, they don’t load, instead giving me errors such as:

Failed to import package with error: Couldn’t decompress package
Failed to import package C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\unityhub-be2bc8e0-0281-11ec-b08d-754a2219d532\learn\260ff862-c8e8-4b66-ad67-bd15ab3739f9

These particular errors were for the project ‘Creator Kit: Beginner Code’. Different projects involve a different filepath, but the errors are otherwise identical. The Assets folder under the Project tab is empty.

I just tried installing a new project that I hadn’t previously installed, and it seems to work. An information panel shows up on the side, and there are files within the Assets folder. How can I uninstall the other projects so I can install them again?

I’ve already tried reinstalling the entire Unity Hub and Unity Editor, but when I did, the projects were still installed.

I may just be missing something, but I can’t seem to find any option to uninstall them within Unity Hub.

By the way, when I check the filepaths listed in the errors, there is nothing within the ‘learn’ folder.

Check the hard drive space on the drive you’re installing the projects to such as C drive in Windows, it could be a lack of space issue, I know from experience that Windows doesn’t like it if your C drive goes lower than a certain space level due to frequent system updates.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have plenty of space free on my C drive (>50GB). I doubt this is the issue. As I said, new installs seem to be working fine, I just need a way to reinstall the past ones to get them working.

Hello, I had the same problem . And I found out how to solve it in this thread, thanks to @[WhitleyNCSU]( Removing Projects Downloaded in Unity Hub members/whitleyncsu.9341719/) 's post:

On windows maybe you just need to locate that “downloadedProjectsMetadata.json” file and delete it.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for your reply! I’ve actually managed to fix the problem since the time of my post by opening the projects to check the file path and manually deleting them all. Glad to know there’s another thread for future reference.
