  1. A game is taking up my disk, but there is no where to uninstall it


    I was installing Halo: MCC from the Windows 10 store on my PC and it was almost done when my ethernet accidentally got disconnected. It gives me an error when I try to click retry, I think the files got messed up and all.The storage space is still taken up, but there is no where to uninstall what I already downloaded, searched through control panel and all. How can I permanently get rid on the game?

  2. Pre-loaded games won't uninstall

    I'm not really into some of the games that were pre-loaded into my PC but when I try to bring up the games from the Start menu and click on 'uninstall' it takes me to the control panel, and I don't see the games listed there for me to uninstall. Suggestions, please? Thanks! ~P

    Windows Store games occupying hard disk space even after uninstalling

    Hi Arpan,

    This issue normally happens if something went wrong on the uninstalling process.

    We suggest that you perform a Disk Cleanup as your workaround this time.

    Please follow the step below:

    • Go to File Explorer.
    • Click This PC.
    • Right click Local Disk.
    • Choose Properties.
    • Click Disk Cleanup.
    We will wait for your response.

    Regards.
