    Cancelled Game Installation, Still Taking Up Space


    On my Xbox One, I started to install the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition through Game Pass. I ended up having to cancel the installation, but the 40-50GB of space it needs is still being takes up and I can’t figure out how to get rid of it or even find
    where it should be shown. Is there anything I can do or have I just lost quite a bit of storage?

    :)

    Xbox game pass

    Keep in mind also that the only thing cancelling the subscription does is takes the license to play the games away it does not remove the game from the console so it will still be taking up space on the hard drive for other games that you may own and want
    to install.

    So if you do cancel the game pass and you do not want the games still taking up space you would need to go in and uninstall the games from the console.

    Game not installed but taking up the space?

    Hello, how are you? Hope you're well. My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community. If you want to continue the download you were doing, you will probably be able to resume it by following the instructions below, rest assured this will not take up more space on your HD or SSD.

    1. Go into the Microsoft Store and search Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition.

    2. Next you want to click on Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition and you want to click Install from the Xbox app.

    3. This will take you to the Xbox app and when it takes you to the Forza game scroll down and look at the tab named "Included in this bundle" And click Forza Horizon 5.

    4. This should take you to the regular Forza Horizon 5 game rather than the Standard Edition, And then you want to click install and this should download the game.

    - If that works, the download will probably pick up where it left off.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting the community, I hope this can help you. Let me know if this solves your problem, please.

    did you get a notification saying that you need to clear some space to install the game?

    If you got that screen and didn't free up space, then it will sit in your queue until you cancel the installation, or free up enough space to resume in install.

    How to completely abort and remove a started game download?

    Hey there BookishFlunky90,

    If you wish to cancel an installation, highlight the title in the "install queue" and press the menu button on the controller and select the option to stop or cancel the installation. This removes the partial game install from the console and frees up the
    space.

    Did that help?

    You're welcome my friend, even the restore procedure? Oliver, I do advise you try to report this issue on the insiders hub app on your PC. :/
