    Recommended Option for Free Up Space Not Able to Delete


    I am unable to delete the storage space of a recommended removal option in the console settings.

    Steps to reproduce:


    1. Go to Settings


    2. Go to System


    3. Go to Storage Devices


    4. Click Free up space


    5. Select the recommended option

    Result: The button to delete the selected option remains grayed out, despite the recommended option being selected. It only allows you to press remove if you select another game or app that is not recommended.

    Console: Xbox Series X

    Update: Alpha Skip Ahead 3/25/2026

    Other devices: External HDD connected to a USB Hub with 4 USB connectors. (This is where the recommended game is located)

    Game specific is Halo: The Master Chief Collection

    Report filed on Xbox as well.

    Hi there!

    Typically this is becauase of a lack of storage space. I would recommend taking a quick look and seeing how much space you have, you may need to delete some installed games to free up space unfortunately.

    downloading

    another perk is being able to delete, and re-download it later on if you need to free up space.(via purchase history)

    Deleting Custom Puzzles

    I just saw in another thread that you can only delete custom puzzles. I assume 'custom puzzles' are those that individuals create from their personal photos.

    If that is the case, there isn't any way I can delete... or un-download... a free collection once I finished it or delete a collection I "bought" with points I accumulated?

    That is not good if people cannot delete completed puzzles to free up space. I have easily eaten up over 10 gigabytes from downloading puzzles and would continue to take up space if not for uninstalling the entire game.

    Microsoft should give people that option otherwise it takes up WAY too much space on a hard drive!
