    Unable to delete MSIXVC


    So today I downloaded a game on the Xbox game pass for pc, while downloading I decided to cancel the installation and look for another game to download. However when I wanted to download a new game my memory suddenly was way less than before.

    I checked on the internet how this could be and tried to look for the problem myself. Now I have found the issue and that is that the game that I first downloaded has partly been downloaded into the file MSIXVC. And I cannot delete this file because I am
    required permission from administrators, however it is impossible to get that and I have also used third party applications and also went into Safe mode to try and delete this file with no succes.

    Does someone know how to delete this file, because it is a 36.05GB file that is useless to me and fills up my storage.

    :)

    Installed games through Xbox Beta taking up twice the hard drive space

    So in order to delete the files in the MSIXVC folder you have to kill the Stub Service program for the Xbox app; however, if you delete the files in said folder, the folders for the games themselves (i.e. PrivateDivision.TheOuterWorldsWindows10) become
    inaccessible along with all the contents of the folder. It says that the resource or folder is no longer available. So that leads me to believe that the files in the MSIXVC folder remain as a virtual mounted drive of sorts. If I restore the file from the recycle
    bin, the folder is accessible again. I verified this with Bloodstained as well. This needs to be fixed.

    (PC) Attempt to install game results in game disappearing but unable to install because of disk space

    Update: I ended up having to access my WindowsApps/MSIXVC folder (within Program Files) and manually deleting the virtual image file (3D263E92-93CD-4F9B-90C7-5438150CECBF.*).

    Now if only I had written down each folder's original owner...

    Gears of War 5 PC INSTALL ISSUE NO ERROR HELPPPPPPP

    I have a similar problem with other games on microsoft store.

    After full installation, the game is present in WindowsApps /MSIXVC (for gears5 as 1E66A3E7-2F7B-461C-9F46-3EE0AEC64B8C taking 69 Go) and in WindowsApps (for gears5 as Microsoft.HalifaxBaseGame_1.1.95.0_x64__...) but the game is not present in the library
    and when I try to download it again, i get a message saying that the game is downloaded but I can't launch it (i still see the install button instead of the play button).

    I just found a solution to finish the installation which works in my case : in the

    WindowsApps /MSIXVC, try to delete the E66A3E7-2F7B-461C-9F46-3EE0AEC64B8C.xvs file and then go to the store to download the game again. This time, after a simple check, the installation will end and the play button appears!

    But now, i have another problem, the game is present in 2 locations on the disk and i didn't found a way to delete installation files in MSIXVC folder (a process is still running on them)
