I can't uninstall games from the Xbox PC app

Hello, as the title says. I tried this on both my new builds and sure enough, both affected.

I installed multiple games from the Xbox gamepass PC app. I was looking to make room for different games, as I'm uninstalling games from the xbox app I'm watching my storage and it remains the same. So I delete a few more Xbox games, nothing happens still showing the same GB storage. I keep uninstalling to the point that I've uninstalled all the games from the xbox app and I still have 0 free room on my Cdrive. I'm very confused, so I go to my Steam app, I try uninstalling a game and it works first try. I go to EA origin app, I try uninstalling a game, it works first try. Both the Steam and EA uninstallation created free room on my Cdrive.

I go to Google and Reddit, start asking questions and reading some post and other forums. Sure enough this is a Windows/Xbox issue. When you install the game from the Xbox app the games get installed on a "WindowsApp" folder which by default you have no access too and require remote access from a Microsoft agent to go in a delete the files OR the other 2 options are RESET the PC or FORMAT the hard drive. This is absolutely crazy that MS stops me from deleting files from my own PC.

I still need help removing these files.

Cannot open Xbox App game bar

Hi Jamie,

Issues with saving your video clips or using the Game bar on Windows 10 are possibly caused by an outdated Xbox app or a corrupted folder on Windows Explorer. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you move your saved video clips to another folder within
the PC. The next saved videos will automatically go to the new folder.

If the issue persists, reset Windows Store to clear the store cache. Then, uninstall and reinstall the Xbox App to manually update it by following the steps below:

To reset Windows Store:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.   
• Click on Command prompt (Admin).   
• Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.   

To update the Xbox App:

• Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.  
• Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.  
• Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage  
• Hit Enter.  
• Launch Windows Store and download Xbox App.
