    Space being used for a game that didn't download on pc

    Hi there turtleburger welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. This tends to happen when our drivers are not updated, when we update them the space gets fixed! It seems to be a visual glitch.

    The Display driver is so important here that merely updating it is sometimes not enough. So let's try everything possible to get it working correctly:

    Update the Display driver from the PC or Display adapter maker's Support Downloads web page for your exact model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag - from the sticker on the PC.

    While there check also for newer chipset, BIOS/UEFI firmware (very important), network, sound, USB3 and other drivers, comparing to the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

    If this doesn't give you the latest or ideal driver for what you need, compare it to the driver offered by the Intel driver update Utility here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/...

    or the Nvidia Update here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=e...

    or the AMD autodect utility here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/P...

    For Display issues one fix that is working is to Roll back or Uninstall the Driver on the Display Device > Driver tab, restart PC to reinstall driver.

    You can also try older drivers in Device Manager > Display device > Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.

    Then you will know you've tried everything in addition to Windows Update drivers.

    Adjust the screen resolution until it fits and looks best at Settings > System > Display.

    Games Appearing In Sidebar While Not Installed, Unable To Install Them

    Is it possible that the drive doesn't have enough space for these games? I recently tried to install a game that I didn't have enough free space for and the Xbox app was slightly less than helpful when informing me of the issue. If you go to the downloads
    page in the Microsoft Store app on your PC, it may give you more information as to why the download is failing.

    Modern Warfare 3 Game Download Corrupted

    Additional detail, I successfully downloaded three times, all being corrupted.

    Also, I didn't think to switch out USB's yet, so if I can get another USB with enough space to put all my downloaded games on, I'll give that a try.
