  2. storage is being taken by Xbox for no reason

    I recently purchased gamepass and installed sea of thieves (74 GB) on drive E and the realized 74 GB storage got taken both from drive E AND drive C! I uninstalled sea of thieves and the Xbox app, I did my best and deleted every possible temp or remaining file I could, but there is still 148 GB of mine taken and there is no trace of it as if it's laundered, you must understand, I'm furious. is this what I get for purchasing your services? please guide me and help me free that 148 GB (74 gb on drive e and 74 gb on drive c) as fast as possible. thank you
