    How can I allocate more storage to Apps and Features?


    Issue:I was having trouble installing MSFS 2020 using the Xbox App because the app kept telling to change my drive in the xbox profile settings but I have a 1.8T Raid 0 drive as the C drive.Leading up to the Problem:Every-time I booted, all but my windows 11 install m.2 drive I have 4 identical m.2s would disappear until i restarted again. This was an issue because I had games i would have to relocate again and again. Sometimes i would have to reinstall because of game launcher issues Blizzard Entertainment's Battle.net AppThe issue has something to do with Intel VMD in the bios and the ch

  2. Delete video allocated by xbox video app

    Thanks for your response!

    • Before I did anything, I checked in storage sense and verified that the "change where you store your music, photos, apps, and more" settings were all changed to SD Card - they were.
    • I did the soft reset. SD card was scanned for errors upon reboot. Storage sense still claims the video app is using 2.62 GB total. After clicking on the Video app in Storage Sense, it claims it is using 2.59 GB of data (install is 23.46 MB). Of course,
      uninstall or anything similar is still not an option.
    • Going into the video app. First, everything in movies is marked with a streaming icon (same in the TV section). Second, when I go to the movie that had the aborted donwnload, and click on the ellipses icon, there is no "Settings", however, there is a delete.
      Delete does indeed remove it from my collection.
    • Storage Sense still claims there same amount of data is allocated to the video app.

    So, I don't think these steps have done anything other than remove the movie from the collection on my phone (the restore purchases will bring it back - I'd actually gone down this route during my own debugging previously).

    Cheers, Gordon!

  3. Delete video allocated by xbox video app

    I have a 640 XL which has only 8 GB internal storage. I added an SD card, and selected all video, etc., be downloaded there. In the Video app I instructed it to download a movie I own. Unfortunately, it started downloading it to the internal storage. Looks
    like it pre-allocated the storage. After about 12%, I canceled it, however, the Video app has not freed up the storage. I can't seem to uninstall (and re-install) the video app either. Suggestions on how to clear the memory and return my phone to usefulness?
    How can I allocate more storage to Apps and Features? :) Thanks!

    How can I allocate more storage to Apps and Features?

    new features 'completed' no details given: sd storage of apps and storage clean up

    For example:

    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...racking_code=da61a0d7fd4a8d3f5764ea2b0e3661b2

    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...racking_code=41f021c2f1ea44753096691f01539f29

    these two topics requesting sd storage for apps and some way to clean up phone storage have been closed as completed. But the copied and pasted template answer doesn't tell us how!!!

    many of us have already searched for an answer and found nothing. There is no way to do what they say they have done for us!!!

    so its seems Microsoft not only ignore their 'support forum' but also 'complete' tasks without doing so just to meet some stats somewhere.

    if Microsoft actually read this my suggestion is a link at least to a 'how to use this new feature' when you close a suggestion.

    in the very least explain what was done to complete these two
