    How do I reclaim storage space used by a game installed through the Xbox app?


    I installed FH5 through the Xbox app and it worked fine for a couple days. However, this morning the game would not start because it said the drive was offline. I tried to Repair the app and it didn't help, so then I Reset the app and now it's missing from the list of installed apps. The game is still taking up disk space and I would like to reclaim that space. I found the game in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" and I don't have permission to just delete it. How do I get this wasted space back?

    :)

    How can I uninstall the Xbox Game Bar App? I never use it and it takes up too much storage space.
