    Game Still taking up space when it was paused and cannot resume


    I was trying to download this game ark survival evolved from the Microsoft store. While the game was installing, I turned off my pc to go to sleep. Next day, I got on my pc to try to resume the download. It would not let me download the game and the game that was paused is still taking up space. I tried clearing the cache and it didn't work. I also installed an application to see everything that was taking up space on my computer and I saw the game but it wouldn't let me delete it. It said I needed permission from system. Btw, I cannot see the game in my regular files or in my uninstaller program.

    :)

    Can't resume a Youtube video after pausing it

    This happens to me almost every time I pause the video and leave it to buffer up a little. After pausing it I just cant resume it and have to refresh the page. I'm using the latest Firefox browser.
    I looked around the internet and see some people suggest it might be the adobe flash players fault.
    What do you think, and has anyone experienced something similar?

    Windows store not resuming game downloads.

    Yet more problems gaming with the windows store.....
    Does anyone know whats going on now? I can begin a game download of possibly several hundred gigabytes but if i pause the download and restart the system the download vanishes from the downloading list of the windows store.

    I then have to manually search the store for the game in question and choose to download it again, at which point if I get lucky i'll remember which hard drive it was installing to and can resume otherwise the whole thing begins to download again from the start.

    I now have 10 or so games halfway downloaded on the system all taking up space on the hard drive yet because I can't remember which games these were I can neither resume the download or remove the partially downloaded files. I also have several games that I tried to resume but couldn't remember which hard drive the partial download was on so these games are now installed fully on 1 drive and also have hundreds of gigabytes of the same game halfway downloaded on other drives.

    (win 10 pro, all up to date)
