    Unable to hide/remove game


    Hi, I am unable to remove or hide an EA game I played, from my xbox series x dashboard. I already played it and uninstalled it, but it won't remove from my dashboard, and no button option to hide it either, can someone please help?

    :)

    Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is Vinicius.

    I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

    Hey PENNY99, how are you today? Hope you're well.

    PENNY99, did you already uninstalled the game from your console, and even then, it stays in your dash?

    Assuming that you already uninstall it, try this on your console:

    First, clean the cache of your console that way:

    1. With the console turned on, hold the XBOX power button on the console for 10 seconds until you hear a small sound.

    2. Wait 10 seconds.

    3. Turn it back on.

    Note: It may take a while for it to turn on, don't worry, it's normal.

    Then, restore your console keeping the games and apps:

    ***IMPORTANT*** If you share accounts with someone, you will have to redo the process of placing the account as the main one again, be aware of the chances you still have to do this, as Microsoft makes available per year, only 5 chances so you can make some account your console's main account. Make Sure to know all passwords and email addresses of your accounts, you will need to log then back in. :)

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the dashboard.

    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console Information >

    3. Select Reset console > Restore and keep my games and apps.

    4. When asked to pull settings from an old Xbox, choose no, thanks

    5. You will have to log in to your accounts again, and when you sign in with your account, make sure you turn it has your home console also, that's it.

    NOTE: Rest assured, you won't lose games or saves

    Would love an equivalent option with Xbox, similar to Steam's "Permanently Remove Game from Account"

    You can hide anything without achievements

    The only way to remove a game is to refund it.
