I once had installed GTA 5 on my computer but deleted it and installed to an external hard drive.But the space on my computer did not free up,I have 49GB occupied by apps and 95GB occupied by GTA 5 but i uninstalled it.I bought the game on Steam and uninstalled it through Steam as wellI tried to find where those files could be but i didn't find anything not even a single GTA 5 file,everything is on my external drive but for some reason GTA 5 still occupies 95GB on my computer

Can't uninstall Windows games . Space running low

Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for your help.

1. I took system restore as suggested .
2. Took ownership and deleted 2 folders of same game ( ~ 5..5 GB ).
3. Too many registries got listed so I was really afraid to delete anything. Left it as is.
4. Decided to restart the PC to see any issues. Nothing wrong happened.

Planning to delete the games one by one as I need space. I don't know if all of them will be smooth to delete in terms of registry left as is.

Thanks again. This was big help.

Regards.

Microsoft Store Games

I downloaded several pc games from my xbox game pass which I no longer have.

I decided to uninstall them, and I did, but didn-t see any change on my drive memory capacity, which means, they were not removed at all. I can-t find them anymore on the microsoft store library nor on my pc app list though.

Doing some research, I found the hidden microsoft store apps folder, and realized the games are still there. How can I safely remove them, without just deleting the folders? And why didn-t they get uninstalled when I did so through the add or remove programs
feature?
