    Hi! I can't seem to remove an app from my Xbox Console Companion.


    I want it out of there because it's not a game - it's VS Code, and I don't know how itgot there in the first place.



    I saw another similar thread where the question was never answered, but the thread got locked for who knows what random reason.

    • I am not asking how to uninstall a game or app. I know how to uninstall games and apps.
    • I am not asking how to start an app or play a game. I know ho running apps works.
    • I am not asking how to pin something to Start menu. I know how to customize my Start menu.
    • I am not asking how to pin things to my Taskbar. I know how to pin things to my taskbar.
    • I am not asking how to temporarily remove something from the games list that only lasts until the next time I run the app.

      Here is the thread that never answered the original question:

    Edit - made it less argumentative and fixed some formatting issues

    remove game data from xbox game in windows 10

    I appreciate your reply. It seems that the game progress was saved to your Xbox account associated on your computer that's why you can't play the game from the beginning. I recommend that you remove the account on your computer by performing the following
    steps:

    1. Press the Windows icon, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Select Accounts.
    3. Under Email & app accounts, click the Microsoft account, then click Remove.

    I also suggest that you reset the Xbox app on your computer so that we could ensure that no account is linked to it. To get started, kindly follow these steps:

    1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Go to Apps.
    3. Under Apps & features, locate the Xbox app.
    4. Click the Xbox app, then select Advanced options.
    5. Click Reset.

    Let us know if that works for you. We'd be glad to further assist you.

  3. 0x803f8001 how do I fix the console and games?

    Hi,

    There are several factors why you are getting this error from your Xbox console. It is possible that the
    game was purchased and downloaded, but you aren't signed in and connected to Xbox Live or
    the game was purchased and downloaded by another family member, and that person is not signed in to the console.

    To properly isolate your concern and provide and provide you an appropriate solution, kindly answer the following questions below:

    • Are you signed in to the account who purchased the game?
    • Is the game a digital copy?
    • Are there any other profiles downloaded on your console?

    remove game data from xbox game in windows 10

    Hi Henry,

    If you are signed in to your Xbox account when playing the game, your game saves will be stored to the cloud storage. If you're playing the game without signing in your Xbox account, you can reset the game from Settings to remove your game saves. Let's try
    to isolate this issue so that we could find a way for you to remove your game data. Kindly perform the following steps below:

    Step 1: Reset the game from Settings.

    1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Go to Apps.
    3. Under Apps & features, locate the game.
    4. Click the game, then select Advanced options.
    5. Click Reset.

    Step 2: Remove Temporary files on your computer.

    1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard, and then click the Settings icon.
    2. Select System, and then select
      Storage
      .
    3. Select This PC and click on
      Temporary files
      .
    4. Select Temporary files.
    5. Click Remove files.
    6. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.
