  1. Microsoftstore, Huge Games, and no way to delete them


    Greetings everyone, I come to you today because of a Problem I encountered.

    I had the Gamepass Ultimate for a while now, and how we all now the Games you install through the store are saved in C:/WindowsApps. And you can only uninstall them through your System or the Store itself... but what if the Store "forgot" That I had Halo and the Microsofot Flight Simulator installed on my Second Harddrive.

    So now I have 250 gig of used space, that I simply can´t clean up.
    Manually deleting? Nope: No permission.
    Reinstalling? Nope: I don´t have the gamepass anymore

    Pointing the Microsoft Store to that location?

    I changed the install directory of the Store to E:/WindowsApps, but that does not help me, because the store still can´t see the installed games.

    I get why it needs to be "Secured" because of piracy, but when I even can´t just delete it, it is really annoying seeing 250 Gig just used up.

    Does anyone has an idea how I could delete those files?

  2. Games on MicrosoftStore

    Hi,

    this is an inquiry of purely theoretical nature on my part but what are the requirements to put a game on MicrosoftStore? Say, a game is compatible with Windows10 and also there is an Android version of the game. What then?

    Thanks

  3. delete demo games

    If you don't want to see them everyday, you can remove their shortcuts from the games folder.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    • open file explorer
    • go to windows folder
    • go to start menu
    • go to programs>games
    • delete the game's shortcut from there by tapping-n-holding on the shortcut

    Hi Ansgar,

    Let's get this issue sorted. To better assist you in removing a game from the games menu, we would like to know more information about the problem that you are experiencing.

    • Did you download this game from Windows Store?
    • Have you tried uninstalling the game on your computer?
