  1. Deleted a game but didn't get any free space. Can't manually delete the game files.


    I can't delete a folder within the WindowsApps folder. It says I need my own permission to delete it. I don't know how to give myself permission. I've tried taking ownership, it says I own the folder yet I don't have permission to delete the darn thing. when I try to delete it I get this:If I click Continue I get this:I am DESKTOP-3G26CCU\PATRICK. How the nuts do I give myself permission to get rid of this bloody folder?

    :)

  2. delete demo games

    If you don't want to see them everyday, you can remove their shortcuts from the games folder.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    • open file explorer
    • go to windows folder
    • go to start menu
    • go to programs>games
    • delete the game's shortcut from there by tapping-n-holding on the shortcut

    Deleted a game but didn't get any free space. Can't manually delete the game files.

    Microsoft Store Games

    I downloaded several pc games from my xbox game pass which I no longer have.

    I decided to uninstall them, and I did, but didn-t see any change on my drive memory capacity, which means, they were not removed at all. I can-t find them anymore on the microsoft store library nor on my pc app list though.

    Doing some research, I found the hidden microsoft store apps folder, and realized the games are still there. How can I safely remove them, without just deleting the folders? And why didn-t they get uninstalled when I did so through the add or remove programs
    feature?
