Hello!

Alternatively you could also get or use a external USB drive (as long as it meets the requirements for the system you're plugging it into). It's an easy way to add hundreds of GBs to TBs of drive space.

It's the same thing for an Xbox 360.

Hi UKD78

If you're using the Xbox One, go to your games and apps, find the game you want to uninstall, click start on said game. The option to uninstall will appear, Select install and voila the game will uninstall itself. If you own the game it will show as an
available download so you can install it again anytime.

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.
