Windows 10: Sea of Thieves still taking 47gb of space after uninstall

I have uninstalled SoT and it is still taking nearly 50Gb of space in windows apps on my ssd even though both windows and windows store shows it as uninstalled. I can't delete manually as I don't have permission and it wont let me give myself permissions.

Sea Of Thieves / Windows Store - What is it doing.......?

It's now re-downloading all my apps. Sea of Thieves included. It's currently at 16Gbs / 47Gbs will keep you posted on if it manages to install at 47Gbs or just carries on downloading till my HDD explodes.

 

Sea of Thieves not available?

Hi HideTheHorizon,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when the Microsoft Store app doesn't work as it should.

Unable to Install Sea Of Thieves on Solid State Drive

I had Sea of Thieves installed on my harddrive, but the load times were slow so I wanted to switch it to my solid state drive. I took the following steps.

• Uninstalled Sea of Thieves
• Navigated to the microsoft store and selected install
• Selected C: drive (which is my ssd) as the install location
• After completing the download I get the error: "Couldn't install. We'll retry shortly".

I've attempted this twice with no luck. It's a large download so it takes a long time to retry, I'm hoping for an easy resolution to get this installed on my C: drive.

Thank you,

Josh
