    Game pass games taking up drive space after uninstalled.


    This may be a question being asked in other areas, to let you know my circumstance I'm running a 500gb nvme and a 2tb hdd, the nvme is my boot drive and its also where I've installed a rather large game 88 gb and have uninstalled it in an effort to free some space. Problem is whenever I uninstall the game. through either windows settings or the xbox app, the files are still in the WindowsApps folder taking up the 88gb of space. I've attempted several times to take ownership of the WindowsApps folder to alleviate this problem, it hasn't worked for me and seems like a rather janky solution to

    Uninstalled Game from Xbox Game Pass Still Taking Up Space

    To Whom It May Concern,

    I am having an issue after uninstalling Halo: MCC from my Xbox Game Pass Subscription on PC. After uninstalling it no longer appears in the Xbox Store/Launcher, but my storage did not recover the space. When I go into Settings->Storage it says that the space
    is taken up within my Apps and Features section, but when I go into it it is nowhere to be found (it is very obvious as Halo: MCC takes up 80+ GB). I have a very small SSD and I need to have this space cleared, but I can't find any resources to help me with
    this other than completely wiping everything and starting from scratch (which I can't do because I am a college student with important data). Any help would be appreciated!

    Game pass games taking up drive space after uninstalled.

    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
