    Xbox App games not fully uninstalling


    There is a full story to this and all but I'm just gonna try to cut to the chase. I tried uninstalling Doom Eternal and Halo MCC, but when it didn't free up space I did some snooping and turns out that they still exist despite me literally using the uninstall button in the Xbox App. AND NEXT, I saw that the MSIXVC folder still has the install files for them despite me again not wanting to install them or use them again. I don't want to uninstall files in the MSIXVC folder because I don't want to accidentally render one of my actual games useless, Is there a way I can just like fully uninstall

    :)

  2. Want to UNINSTALL XBox

    Hi Kristi,

    Xbox App is one of the built-in applications on Windows 10. To uninstall it from your computer, you have to perform the following steps using the Windows PowerShell:

    • Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.  
    • Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.  
    •  Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage
    • Hit Enter.  

    If you are unable to uninstall the app, reset Windows Store to clear the store cache and try to uninstall the Xbox app again.

    Here's how to reset Windows Store:

    • Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.   
    • Click on Command prompt (Admin).   
    • Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.   

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

  3. Cannot open Xbox App game bar

    Hi Jamie,

    Issues with saving your video clips or using the Game bar on Windows 10 are possibly caused by an outdated Xbox app or a corrupted folder on Windows Explorer. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you move your saved video clips to another folder within
    the PC. The next saved videos will automatically go to the new folder.

    If the issue persists, reset Windows Store to clear the store cache. Then, uninstall and reinstall the Xbox App to manually update it by following the steps below:

    To reset Windows Store:

    • Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.   
    • Click on Command prompt (Admin).   
    • Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.   

    To update the Xbox App:

    • Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.  
    • Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.  
    • Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage  
    • Hit Enter.  
    • Launch Windows Store and download Xbox App.

  4. Xbox App games not fully uninstalling

    uninstall xbox beta game on windows 10

    when i try to uninstall a game (for example Yakuza 0) from the xbox beta app, the game is removed from the list but it doesn't free up the space on the disk. also, if i try to reinstall, then it takes only a few seconds so it means even the installer is
    still saved somewhere. i was able to find the game folder on windowsapps but then i dont know if i should delete it so it doesnt corrupt anything else. i also found old games that i thought they were uninstalled before, how do i fully uninstall them?
