  1. Remove unwanted maps created by the Xbox (Beta) app on PC


    So I recently downloaded the Xbox app for PC because I decided to use my Xbox game pass and play some good games.

    I like to have all of my programs neatly organized in folders on all my drives. The first thing I had to do to make sure I was going to use this app was to change where the games should be downloaded. I saw a setting for this but I noticed that I couldn't choose any folder. I could only choose a root drive, which in itself is a horrible feature for a platform that distributes games on PC but also that I needed to change the settings of my computer to download ALL APPS AND GAMES from ANY windows source to that drive.

    I didn't know this so I clicked on the drive and hoped that it would create one folder for that app on the chosen drive. But that is not what happened. Instead, it created FIVE separate folders when I started downloading called "Program Files", "WindowsApps", "DeliveryOptimaztion", "[my desktop name]", and "WUDownloadCache". Obviously I canceled the installation and began removing the folder but then it tells me that I CAN'T remove some of these folders because I don't have permission on my OWN computer.

    I just recently had to deal with a problem similar to this and it was a pain to deal with. There has to be an easy way to remove these so that I can uninstall the app and have a clean drive again.

    Help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    :)
