Install/Uninstall problem with Microsoft store

Ilolo1 · Nov 19, 2019

So I had installed Dishonored 2 through the Microsoft Store a while back and went to uninstall it to open up some space on my drive. I uninstalled it on the Apps & Features page under settings and it seemed to work fine. Afterwards though I noticed no space
had been free'd up like I was expecting(58gb). After some searching I found the install location "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\BethesdaSoftworks.Dishonored2-PC_1.0.9.0_x64__3275kfvn8vcwc" which showed the folder's size at 58gb. I'm unable to delete this folder
or any of it's contents, I'm told I need administrator access which I do have. From the game's page in Microsoft store it shows it is not installed and if I try to install it again it downloads in about a second and says it's completed but it does not actually
install.

If anyone could help me out with this I'd greatly appreciate it.

The WindowsApps folder is restricted even when you are the administrator. You'll have to manually take ownership of the folder to gain full control but this is not advisable.

What you can try first is to use Disk Cleanup utility and see if this will delete the folder. The other method you can try is run PowerShell as Administrator and type the command
Get-AppxPackage BethesdaSoftworks.Dishonored2-PC_1.0.9.0_x64__3275kfvn8vcwc | Remove-AppxPackage

Let me know if this helps.

Solved it. I tried the PowerShell command and it didn't work at first. I wound up doing a system restore from before I tried to uninstall the game, then I used the command and it seems to be gone now.
