Game not completely uninstalling on Game Pass for PC

Hi noodle1680,

Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox Forums! I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with data remains after uninstalling a game. This is really common and easy to fix, so here are a few support steps you can follow.

Step 1: Use Control Panel to Uninstall a Program

1. Type control panel in the search box of Windows 10 and then click this app from the search result.
   
2. Go to Programs (viewed by category) > Programs and Features.
   
3. Right-click on the program you want to remove and click Uninstall or Uninstall/Change.
   

Step 2: Delete the Remaining Files and Folders

After you uninstall a game/app, check these folders for leftovers: %programfiles% and %appdata%.

1. Input each folder in the search bar and press Enter to directly open the folder.
   
2. If there is a folder with the name of the program that you have removed, delete it.
   

Step 3: Remove App Keys from Windows Registry

In most cases, uninstalling a program doesn’t remove the program from Windows Registry, which could increase the size of Registry. So, you should reset the Registry keys.

Tip: Be very careful when making some changes to your Windows Registry. I recommend that you back up Windows Registry to avoid accidents as changes to the Registry Keys cannot be undone.

1. Launch Windows Registry by pressing Win + R keys, inputting registry and clicking OK.
   
2. Find these keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software.
   
3. If you find the key with the name of the uninstalled program, delete it.
   

Step 4: Empty Temp Folder

This is the final step. It is safe to empty the Temp folder that contains all the temporary files.

1. Search for %temp% and temp one by one in the search bar of Windows 10.
   
2. Delete all of the temporary files.

It seems that even with Powershell the file doesn't want to be deleted.

Replace ''-recurse'' with ''-force'' and see if this time the file is deleted.

"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\KalypsoMediaGroup.Tropico6Win_14.2.437.0_x64__e60j8nnj33ga6" -force

Another Error Code

Remove-Item : Access is denied

Access denied even with powershell. Maybe with some file deletion program you can eliminate the files but I can't tell you any.
