    Hello, limbermender. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    May I know if your computer is running Windows 10 or 11?

    Also, how are you trying to uninstall Forza Horizon? By the control panel, by the apps & features, by the Microsoft store or the Xbox app?

    Waiting for your kind reply.

    Fully uninstalling games

    I managed to find the folder and deleted it

    For more context I uninstalled it through the Xbox app and it left a studio wildcard folder with a bunch of stuff still on it and I managed to delete if

    Thanks for this

    Game will not not fully uninstall.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Joseph

    Additional information is needed, please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

    Are you trying to delete a game from your Xbox or PC?
    If it's on your Xbox, the game is installed on the internal storage? Or did you installed the game on a external drive?

    If it's on PC, how are you trying to delete the game?
    Via the Xbox app or via Windows settings?

    And what did you tried so far to fix this problem
    In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

    Game Not Fully Uninstalling

    If you have a computer, you can try to format it on the computer first:

    - Connect your external hard drive to the computer;

    - Press Windows + E to open the file explorer and go to "This computer";

    - Right-click on the external hard drive and click Format;

    - Choose NTFS under File System;

    - Check the Quick Format box and click Start.

    Then, just insert the external HD on the console. Choose it as a storage to install games and apps.

    If you want to format it right on the console:

    - Press the Xbox button > Settings > System > Storage. The external storage should appear on this page.

    - Highlight the external drive, press the A button and select Format > Choose games and apps.

    Feel free to ask back any question and let me know how it goes.
