Windows 10: Uninstalled Games Not Freeing Up Space

I had recently uninstalled games from my C drive but it seems as if it did not make any difference. It currently lists 6.49 GB free out of 237 but the number should be closer to around 180GB being free. I had originally uninstalled the games by going into storage settings clicking on apps and features, then programs and features, and after selecting what I had wanted to uninstall and uninstalled it.

Application (game) update -> not enough free space problem

I have downloaded game "asphalt 8: airborne" for my lumia 620. It offered me an update yesterday. During update installation, the process crashed because of full phone's internal memory.

Now, I can neither uninstall the application, nor finish the update. Application takes 2.2 GB, update temp file 1 GB (I have removed that to have at least 1 GB of free space) and my phone has full memory :-(

Any suggestion how to remove/successfully update the game (uninstall is not available in the list of games)?

(This is clearly WP8 critical error -> when application update fails, you cannot either remove it, nor use it... when the reason is "not enough space" you are screwed & I don't see any other solution then hard reset)

 

Low Disk Space error

Hi,

I suggest you to delete the unwanted applications or games installed on the device and also perform a Disk Cleanup.

In order to delete the games or applications, which has been downloaded from the Windows Store you need to right click on the game and select
Uninstall option from the Start menu.

If the games that you are downloaded are .exe or the applications which are not downloaded from the Windows Store, you may try deleting it from the Control panel.

To do so, please follow the below steps.

• Right Click on Start Menu.
• Open Control Panel.
• Click Programs.
• Click Programs and Features.
  
• Click on the programs that you would like to uninstall.

I suggest you to try the steps in the following article to free up space and check if it helps.

Pre-loaded games won't uninstall

I'm not really into some of the games that were pre-loaded into my PC but when I try to bring up the games from the Start menu and click on 'uninstall' it takes me to the control panel, and I don't see the games listed there for me to uninstall. Suggestions, please? Thanks! ~P
