Hard drive space reduced after game reinstallation compared with original installation

Hi Medico1, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, try clearing temporary files:

Open the Start menu and select Settings > System > Storage.

Select Configure Storage Sense or run it now, and under Temporary Files, select when you want each type of file deleted.

Note: To delete unnecessary files manually instead, scroll down and under Free up Space Now, select Clean Now.

Let me know if it works!

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for your extreme fast reply. The fastest I see when I ask help for my issues. I want to add that is not C drive. It is another drive with NVMe type of drive. I noticed that when I used properties to check that drive, it mentioned a files of pictures of 285 GB. It looked the largest coming from the game MS Flight Simulator located in the files XBoxgames. The temporary files are about 20 GB. The drive does not have a file called pictures. That drive does not have configure storage sense available.

I never said you can't install games onto the hard drive, you cannot install original Xbox games onto your hard drive. There is a difference between original Xbox games and Xbox 360 games. All Xbox 360 games that have discs can be installed to the hard drive
(assuming you have space). Original Xbox games cannot.

If you see error code 0x8007007B and the message, “The drive for download is not available, please fix the volume and try again,” when you try to install a game or update the Xbox app for PC , this means that either it couldn’t locate the drive on which you originally installed the game, or that you don’t have enough storage space to install the game.
To fix this error, choose a new storage device on which to reinstall the game, or free up enough space on your Windows device’s hard drive to reinstall the game.

Hello Puskas778, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I understand your frustration. Here are some solutions you could try:

For Battlefield V:

Check if you have enough space on your hard drive: Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive to install the game.
Update Origin: Make sure your Origin client is updated to the latest version.
Reinstall Origin and Battlefield V: If all else fails, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling both Origin and Battlefield V.

For Rainbow Six Siege:

Check if you have enough space on your hard drive: Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive to install the game.
Install the game on an external hard drive: Try installing the game on an external hard drive and see if it works.
Create a new Playstation Network account and activate game sharing: Try launching the game on the new account.
Reset or repair the Ubisoft Connect app: Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Find the app > Advanced option > Restart/Repair.
Verify your Ubisoft account: Make sure your Xbox account is correctly linked to your Ubisoft account.
I hope this helps you solve the problem. If the issue persists, I would recommend contacting Battlefield V and Rainbow Six Siege support.

Best regards.
