    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?

    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

    Uninstalled a windows game but it still takes up disk space

    I recently unstalled sea of thieves so I could reintstall it and repair the game, but after I uninstalled the game it still took up the disk space it had previously used.

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

    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.
