  1. Storage not freed up after reset


    An Xbox specialist told me to do a reset to a computer for Forza Horizon 5 because I had issues with it crashing. When I did it, both Forza Horizon and Microsoft Flight Simulator were removed. They are my biggest games, each over 100 GB. When I went to look in my disk, no space was free, and the gigabytes remained the same. So, I went to check if the games were actually uninstalled, and they were. In Microsoft Flight Simulator, I had to download 123 GB of it back again in-game. Someone told me to look into TreeSize Free, but I don't think it helped that much.*** Moved from sv-se ***

    No storage freed up after uninstalling games

    I have two SSD drives in my laptop and I try to keep on of them just for my OS. I realized that two games over 150GB were installed on my OS drive. I have uninstalled the two games but in the storage settings and the file explorer it doesn't show that any storage was freed up. I am running Windows 11. Any help would be nice - Thanks.

    Windows 10 Storage

    Im running out of storage on my laptop. Ive taken steps to clear some room, cc cleaner etc but freed up 2 gb at most. The bulk of my storage is in sytem(needed), apps, or other. When i try and remove some apps and other content it only lists enough to
    maybe cover a gig at most, even though it says there is 50 gb worth. Any way for me to access and remove any of the this? Thanks.
