    I cannot uninstall a corrupt Age of Empires 3 installation


    Hi all,


    I've discovered that my disk space is being significantly reduced by a folder that seems to have been installed when Age of Empires 3 tried to install onto my laptop but errored when there wasn't enough disk space.


    I've used "TreeSize" to discover the folder, and within is a number of Age of Empires 3 data. I've already used the Storage>Apps and Features programme to delete Age of Empires 3 which was displaying a significantly lower size but it didn't remove the identified folder. I then saw that the Age of Empires 3 was still displaying in the Xbox app, so again, deleted it, but no joy. I've then noticed that it was STILL on the Program list when I click Start, so again, did the uninstall. The folder amassing 38.5GB, titled: Microsoft.MSGPBoston_100.12.14825.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe is situated within - C:\Program Files\WindowsApps


    I've tried to just manually removing this folder, but it then requests me to gain permission from SYSTEM. So I took ownership for the folder, to myself, and then when I tried to delete the folder, it says I need to gain permission from myself to delete it! I'm not sure what I am supposed to do to get rid of this folder!!


    I only have a small sized SSD in this laptop, so having 38.5GB stolen by this folder is causing me a lot of angst.


    I am happy to try lots of things, having tried numerous command prompts such as diskchk etc but nothing seems to budge it! Worst case scenario, is there a way to contact Microsoft Store or Microsoft Xbox to help in this matter? I tried calling the Microsoft Store support but was told that I would have to pay for the pleasure of asking for assistance to correct an error caused by Microsoft themselves... *sigh*


    Anyone willing to take up the gauntlet? Lots of people have suggested things to me and I've done them but no-one has succeeded!

    :)

    Age Of Empires The Age Of Kings Multiplayer Crash

    Hi,



    This issue might happen if the Windows Firewall is blocking the game from connecting to the LAN.

    I suggest you to add the Age of Empires the Age of Kings, to the exception list of the Windows Firewall and check if the issue is resolved.

    Follow the steps below.




    • Press Windows key + X key and select
      Control Panel.

    • Click on View by in the top right panel and select Small Icons.

    • Find and click on Windows Firewall.

    • Click on Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall in the left panel.

    • Click on Change Settings, find and check the Age of Empires the Age of Kings box for both
      Public and Private Columns.

    • If Age of Empires the Age of Kings is not listed, then click on
      Add and select the installed path of the game.


    Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further assistance on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.
