Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Lua1325

Please answer the following questions to see how you can proceed ;

Is this happening on PC, right?
If yes, are you on Windows 11 or 10?
If you try looking for the game pressing Windows key and then start typing Sea of thieves, are you able to see the app listed?

And please tell me briefly which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this
In that way I can advise you different things

I'll be waiting for your answers, greetings from another Microsoft user

Can you provide me with information about the Gamepass cache or MSFS taking up space after the uninstall specifically please?

Hello Mesanoe,

Even though the game is taking space on the SSD it still needs to finish downloading from what I got with your message you need to uninstall a game to free up space for the rest of the game to download.

Did you by chance install the insider or pioneer builds at all?

You can gain control of where the game is installed by following instructions here

If you can't access the file manually, I'd recommend to contact Microsoft for further guidance. https://support.microsoft.com
