A little while back my portable HDD i used with my PS5 failed after getting knocked over. After I got a new one I noticed the games I had on that old drive were marked with this "connect USB drive" tag and can't be reinstalled. On most of the games, when hovering over them in my library, I can click start and select "remove from home" and then it allows me to download the game again just fine.
On a few of my games, however, the ones with multiple versions (such as a PS4 and PS5 version, or like FFXV here that have a demo) I can't press start to get that "remove from home" option, and so I'm not able to redownload it at all.
Can anybody please tell me some way to fix this? I have about 12 games I've purchased that are now locked and can't be played because of this.

You have to delete the portion of the game data (NOT save data) that’s installed on the console. You can do so via Settings, though I don’t remember what the exact option is called. Look for something like storage or app/game data.
