Can't uninstall Windows games . Space running low

Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for your help.

1. I took system restore as suggested .
2. Took ownership and deleted 2 folders of same game ( ~ 5..5 GB ).
3. Too many registries got listed so I was really afraid to delete anything. Left it as is.
4. Decided to restart the PC to see any issues. Nothing wrong happened.

Planning to delete the games one by one as I need space. I don't know if all of them will be smooth to delete in terms of registry left as is.

Thanks again. This was big help.

Regards.

Deleted Windows.old, not enough disk space freed

1. Did you empty the recycle bin ? If not, empty it.
2. Delete the contents under: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
   Those are downloaded Windows Updates files and already installed.
3. Open Admin command, copy and paste the line below then run:
   Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
   This should remove all the no longer used by component store. Will take a while to run.
