    Uninstalled Sea of thieves but didnt free up any space!


    I stopped playing sea of thieves and decided to uninstall it but after I uninstalled the game no space was freed! (I am playing on PC) I located the game files and they are still there (70GB) on my SSD. I tried uninstalling but it said I don't have permission even though I am an administrator. Does anyone have any idea how i could delete those files?

    :)

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    Follow this path and delete everything, this should free up the space it's taking up.

    Thank you but the problem isn't there. ( I did try deleting the cache just now but it says that the files are opened somewhere) It's the fact the all the game files are on my SSD but I cannot uninstall nor play it, I don't even have permission to delete those files.

    Right-click on the folder and go to properties>security tab>click advanced

    In the owner at the top click ''change'' in the blank field type ''everyone'' and then click ''verify names'' a new window will open and select ''everyone'' again and click '' Ok'', click ''ok'' again.

    Check the box ''replace owner on subcontainers and objects''

    And check the box at the bottom ''replace all permission entries...''

    Click on apply, probably a window will open applying some changes, just click on ''yes'' or ''ok''. Click Ok to close the main window and enter the WindowsApps folder that is on your SDD, locate the game folder, and delete, if it doesn't give you permissions, do the same thing to get permission.
    Thank you! I just tried doing that after I read your comment and it still said "you need permission from everyone" is my PC broken or something??? i will most likely just reinstall the PC!
