Dead Drive Messing Up Programs?

Ok, so recently I had a 1tb hdd fail on me. Unfortunate, but yeah. However, the Epic Games Launcher was installed on that drive. It now doesn't work. Meaning, if I attempt to uninstall the Epic Games Launcher, it says Invalid Drive and does not proceed with the uninstallation. If I attempt to run the setup wizard for the Epic Games Launcher, it also says invalid drive?? How do I go about this?

Almost Dead drive.

Check the cables, or replace with a new one.

scan for bad sectors and try to attempt a recovery scan.

I've checked the cables, it's connected. Unfortunately, it's not shown in task manager or file explorer. How do I perform a recovery scan?
