    Folder can't be deleted and keeps popping.


    Hello, I have problem with this 3 folders that can't be edited or deleted. I tried to change the ownership of the folders but it can't be deleted.

    and the XBOX Games folder always created new after restart, I have changed the default directory to C: but it still came back to D: directory.

    Folder can't be deleted and keeps popping.

    Hello sepedalipat,

    Thank you for sharing your concern with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

    We understand that you're having trouble deleting these folders. There may be options that we need to modify for us to be able to successfully delete these folders on your drive. Let's see if we can sort this out for you.



    First, regarding the Xbox Games folder, it sounds like the default installation directory is still set to D:\. Here's how to change it to C:\:



    1. Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.

    2. Click on "System" and then "Storage".

    3. Under "More storage settings", click on "Change where new content is saved".

    4. Change the "New apps will save to" and "New documents will save to" options to "This PC (C:)".

    5. Restart your computer and check if the Xbox Games folder is still being created in D:\.



    Once we changed it to other location, you can proceed to delete the folder from your ends. If any case the issue persists, please note to proceed and submit a bug via windows feedback within the Xbox App.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Kind regards,



    Microsoft Community

    XboxGames folder keeps popping up

    I believe since you already installed games on the D: drive, the Xbox app will always recreate this folder since you might install games on this drive in the future.

    The only option you could try to do is to change the default folder (not drive) inside the Xbox app to something else (like Games, for example). But I still think the Xbox app will still recreate the folder (Games, in our example here) on your D: drive.

    XboxGames folder keeps popping up

    Hello, Bence_19. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

    Have you changed both on the Xbox app and on the Windows settings the default installation drive for games and apps?

    Also, would you please double check that no games are still installed on the D: drive?

    Waiting for your follow-up.
