Hello, Nikolai Böck.

Welcome to Microsoft community.



If you want to clear the installation packages of games downloaded from the Microsoft Store, you can do so by following the steps below

Method 1：

Find this directory, which contains all the installation packages that Microsoft has downloaded.

“C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download”

Then delete the games folder

Method 2：

1. Press Win+S，
   
2. Type Powershell->Right-Click it-> Run Powershell as administrator.
   
3. Enter” Remove-Item -LiteralPath 'D:\temp\test2 (folder path)' -Force -Recurse”
