Games I have deleted via the Xbox app are not actually deleted.

I have an Xbox Game Pass subscription and I was playing without any problems since I had a problem with starting and booting up the game. The solution seemed too long for me so I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game and try the "long" solution and if the problem wasn't still solved, I would try the solution. My hard drive is full to the brim so every GB is valuable to me. When I uninstalled and tried to reinstall I've seen that the games I previously uninstalled cannot be reinstalled because there is no space cleared. It told me to delete the files in the WindowsApps folder. I accessed the folder but I don't have the authorization to delete the files. I ask help to get the authorization.

I demand a request for you to (I don't know if you can contact the developers of the app) fix this problem because while it works completely fine on other game libraries I find this problem rather quite easy to fix it comparably.

Unfortunately, most of the solutions shown on that page aren't going to help me. My problem is that the games I have uninstalled are not actually deleted from my computer. For example, there were 100GB of free space on one disc and 90GB on the other but when I deleted two games that were approximately 100 GB each, there was no change in the available free spaces on my discs. I thought it backed these games up in case I reinstall them but I can't make free space, so I cannot reinstall them. I found a solution and it was to go to the WindowsApps folder and delete the game files. I gained access to the folder via some videos on the internet but I can't find how to delete that file. There may be some other solution that I may not be aware of.

There might be another solution to be able to install the games again!

I recommend checking this link for details: Troubleshoot game installations on a Windows 10 device | Xbox Support

Please try instead downloading the game via Xbox PC app.

Delete the actual minecraft launcher and all its components.

It works with every video that I delete from Xbox Live. If I delete the video from Xbox Live, I can upload it via the Youtube app. Otherwise, I cannot upload via the Youtube app.

None of the installed games in that folder appear in the actual Xbox app, as that is the main issue with deleting them, since the folder requires more administrative powers to delete the files from the folder, and I cannot delete or play them from the app either since they are not there
