    Finding partially installed games / storage issues / xbox (beta) files


    Hi all,

    2 issues I can't seem to find an answer for and any assistance would be appreciated:

    So I have been trying to install several games on xbox (beta) on PC. When I first selected several games and clicked download it stated it would take me down from 1 TB to about 500GB. I have since turned my PC on and off several times and have kept clicking
    resume install, however each time I do this it takes my storage down further and further. The latest time its now stating I'm down to about 350gb. I haven't installed any additional games, apps etc etc. Is this an issue or is it just likely that there have
    been about 150gb of updates to these games in about 2 weeks?

    Also I selected the several games above, but before they all fully downloaded a couple have disappeared from the xbox game pass. I think one was Gears of War. I however can't tell whether this is still partially installed on my system. I have found the download
    folders however due to the way the games are downloaded, various titles/names etc that don't necessarily seem to correspond I can't seem to figure out which folder might relate to which game. Is there an easy way to find out so I can make sure I only have
    documents downloaded for the games I am actually playing?

    For example I have one folder called MXISC - from reading this might be a folder I can delete content out of once my games are all installed, is this correct? This is taking up a huge amount of space along with various other folders and I just can't tell
    whats needed.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks all,

    Mark

    :)

    Finding partially installed games / storage issues / xbox (beta) files

    Hi, thank you for the reply. I have managed to locate the games and although they are given odd names such as 'Chelan', 'Halifaxbasegame', 'Delta' and 'SpartaUWP', I have managed to find out what they are.

    The problem now is just the amount of storage they are taking. So I have Xbox GP for PC. When I have then installed each game, every time I pause it and then re-install it states it will take up more and more space. It has now taken up 700GB where it said
    it would have initially only taken about 500GB. This is in the space of a few weeks so can't imagine the games would have had such significant updates in that time but I guess they could have.

    The other issue was the MSIXVC folder - is this where the lost GB's are and can the contents just be deleted or will it effect the games at all? I might test it but on my current internet connection it took ages to install some of these games and don't want
    to go back to the start.

    Thank you

    Finding partially installed games / storage issues / xbox (beta) files

    By default your games will save on the C: drive and the common location of saved games is C:\Users\NAME\Saved Games\GAME. Once you find the folder you can backup the files to another storage device.The
    games you play will create a saved folder for data locally but depending on where you bought the game, the cloud storage will also kick in. I know for Steam you have to check the game and make sure it has a cloud icon to know it supports it.

    You should be able to move the files from your user files in the C: drive if you played from Game pass, you just would need to locate the game's folder in the Program files section of your C: drive, which
    is where Steam installs by default.

    You don't need to be an Windows Insider to install the Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) app. It requires Windows 10 (latest update) and the Xbox (beta) app. What is the error you are getting when trying to install?

    mw3 unortherized disc and console shuts down

    Hey J0N, glad to hear you got the disc-read issue sorted! As for the issue installing the game, it sounds like there may be a corrupted or partial file on the HDD that needs to be deleted. Can you please look for MW3 under 'Gamers' in your console storage
    area? Please delete any MW3 files that aren't save files, as well as any corrupted files, or files with an exclamation point next to them. Thank you!

    Red Dead Redemption will not download

    The download that started at 4%, go ahead and cancel that.

    Then go into Settings/System/Storage and find RDR (it might be listed as 'Unknown Game') and delete that partial file.

    Then start the download again and let us know if that works out any better.

    Mass Effect: Genesis 2 took my microsoft points and then didn't download

    I looked under settings=> system=> storage=> hard drive=> games and apps and did not find anything resembling a partial file. I checked my download history and purchase history again and they have not changed.
