  1. Problem deleting games. ( HELP )


    I was on windows support for like 2 hours straight, nice people but could not help me.

    Every time I delete a game 11gb size it stays there. I tried many troubleshooting but nothing worked.

    Tried:

    Deleting from Xbox app beta

    Applications settings

    Tree size: marks error when deleting

    Local folder: Appears as mb or kb rather than the 11 gb.

    This has happened to me before with a 3gb game which Has not bees fixed. This is a bigger game so I really hope someone can help me.

    Cant delete game from games menu

    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.

    • Do you only experience this issue with this particular game?
    • Did you download this game from Windows Store?
    • Have you tried uninstalling the game on your computer?
    • What other steps have you performed in trying to delete this game?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you
    create a new user account
    on your computer and then try to delete the game while on the new account. This will help us identify if the issue is caused by a configuration error related to your current user account.

    If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to post a reply.

    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
