  1. Download taking storage but no files


    I was downloading Forza 5 and decided to pause the download to go to sleep, my pc updated before shutting down and when i woke up to continue downloading the game the progress was gone and it would not let me redownload the game to the same hard drive again but it was taking the storage. I tested the issue by starting the download the game to another storage device, i then paused it and restated my pc and the same issue occurred. The progress for the download was gone and now i have two separate hard drive that have lost 100gb of storage and there are no files to delete and i now can download Forza 5 to either of the drives

    :)

    Download taking storage but no files

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

    First, welcome to the Xbox community. Given the problem you are having, I suggest you try the procedure below.

    (Some users have reported that this allows downloading the game)

    On any of your PC's hard drives, please try the procedure below.

    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, I hope this can help you.

    my xbox 360 light blinks and wont stop

    Do you have cloud storage enabled? As far as I know the cloud storage can be synchronized in the same way background downloads work. In this case when the console is turned off. If the files are big, this can take a while.

    Performance of my pc after some time playing games

    I clean installed Windows 11, and I'm currently downloading the drivers. However, I've noticed that the old windows files are still there, as part of temporary files in storage in settings, is it safe for me to delete them? The temporary files are taking over 75gbs so it would save me a lot of space if I can delete them.

    Same problem here. The downloaded expansion II file is stated at the time of downloading to be 108kb. However the file that ends up in storage is only 56kb
