  1. 37 GB file in a MSIXVC folder I can't access or delete


    My problem is with the Xbox PC gamepass version of Outer Worlds. I recently tried to play OW after several weeks of not playing it. When hitting "play" from the Xbox PC app, it would not launch and closed down the app. Nothing I did (uninstall/reinstall,
    repair/reset, etc.) would get the game to launch. So I "uninstalled" it through the Xbox app. While it disappeared from my game list, it left behind a 37 GB file in the above mentioned folder that I cannot get to or delete.

    Can anyone please explain to me, in very simple layman's terms, how I might be able to delete this 37 GB waste of space without downloading some 3rd party uninstaller? 8bbf2763-a1c6-4f1b-96ca-b79dd5fda4ee

    Nope. Nothing like that shows up. It only shows up when I try to clean up my disk using Bitdefender. I used to be able to play the game but, after several weeks of not playing, I came back to it and it wouldn't load. So, I "uninstalled" it through
    the xbox app. Now, it doesn't show up on my list of games, but this file is still there, and I can't even access the file folder it is in.
    Have you tried removing it thru Settings/Apps? If it's not there, you can try deleting the folder manually:

    Note: the game will not show up in Control Panel/Programs and Features.

    Nope, that doesn't do it. That file doesn't even show up when doing disk cleanup.

    right click c drive, properties, disk cleanup, tick everything as those files usually sit in delivery optimisation. dont worry if you installed to another drive, this will clear it from here, i have to do it regular.

    once you done that, go back to disk cleanup and thenclean system files too.
