  1. WindowsApps Game folder can't be deleted after game disappeared from XBox App and App...


    I can't delete a folder in WindowsApps. I have a GamePass and an installed game, recently it just disappered from the Xbox App but it just disappeared in the overview. The physical data is still located in the WindowsApp folder...22GB:I tried to reinstall the game, didn't work, I changed the folder permissions of the folder WindowsApps, didn't help.When I try to delete the folder I get the message:See yourself I am the owner of this folder I can't delete:I googled for help, all solutions describe to replace the principal, which I did. Despite following the MS solution I can't delete the folde

  2. Xbox Game App - WindowsApps Folder - Games do not delete, cannot transfer no rights WORST APP EVER!

    Ok so this is a major complaint and plea for Microsoft to fix their product as I can see through many searches that this issue is not new. I have been fairly furious dealing with this BS application and especially the WindowsApps Folder...I only noticed
    this as I deleted a few games from the Xbox App and recovered zero space...so I then like most others changed folder permissions etc etc fng etc. No matter what I do I cannot delete the damn game folder from the drive, I have even reinstalled and tried deleting
    through system/storage/apps without any luck. I also cannot transfer games from one PC to another because of the ridiculous fng permissions on items I am paying for. I am so fed up with this garbage application and settings pushed by Microsoft that I am
    likely going to completely wipe the drive and reinstall OS etc and NEVER EVER touch this piece of **** again.

    With all the said...has there been any viable fix for these stupid issues recently? Or am I going to get a useless reply giving me steps that I have already done?

    Windows 10 Xbox DVR app thinks Chrome is a game

    When setting up the XBox game app, and the XBox DVR game bar, I must have checked the box that Chrome is a game app.

    How do I undo that?

    Every time I open Chrome, the game bar pops up.

    I don't want to select "don't show this again", because then it'll disable it for real game apps. I just want to remove Chrome from the list.

    Thoughts?
     
  4. WindowsApps Game folder can't be deleted after game disappeared from XBox App and App...

    Cannot delete WindowsApps folder created by Xbox Beta app for gamepass.

    I recently had to "reset" my PC, but did this through the reset option in windows which allows you to keep most of your "personal data". After reinstalling the Xbox app, I had to set a new location for my games in a different drive, as it could not delete
    the old location (which has ~200 GB worth of games on it). I have tried setting the ownership to myself, and deleting it. I tried deleting the individual folders inside the WindowsApps folder. Nothing has worked so far. Any help would be appreciated.
