    Delete Xbox games on an external hard drive, xbox substription expired


    Okay here's my issue:

    • I bought the game pass and installed a few games on my HDD. Then the game pass expired (and I'm not going to renew it)
    • Then I've done a clean installation of Windows on my main SSD.
    • Now in my HDD there is a 100+ GB "WindowsApps" folder that I cannot remove and inside the Xbox app the games are not listed.
    HOW can I remove that folder or the games it contains?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Hi,

    The WindowsApps folder is encrypted and this encryption is unique to the previous Windows install which means Xbox App can't see it.

    To get back your 100+GB's you'll need to take ownership of the folder and delete it.

    Please follow this guide to help you delete your old WindowsApps folder. Once done you should also delete 'WpSystem' and 'WUDownloadCache' folders. You only need to delete the WindowsApps folder on your other drive, the one on C:\ can be left as it is.



    Once your old folder is deleted you should also now be able to change the drive Apps are installed to in Windows 10 to the this drive. Doing this will create a new WindowsApps folder on your drive.

    Marvel heroes omega will not delete. It's been forever!

    If you have an external hard drive transfer the game over, then delete it off of the external drive.

    Xbox unable to load games at all :(

    If you have an external hard drive could you try deleting a game and installing it directly to the console's hard drive to rule out issues with the external drive itself?

    Hitman 2 cannot access additional missions

    So I did further investigation lol and learned that i don't have the digital version but the disc one. The missions that I deleted were the missions that come with the disc. So I have unplugged my external hard drive and am attempting to install the game
    onto the xbox hard drive. If this works is there any way I can transfer my saved games from my external hard drive to the xbox hard drive?
