    Uninstalling a game doesn't actually uninstall it (PC Game Pass)


    I downloaded Skyrim from Game Pass with the advanced management features enabled. My game install folder is set to C:\Xbox.

    After I decided I was done with Skyrim, I uninstalled it, but to my surprise the full 25GB is still present in the game's installation folder. I cannot delete it manually as I require permission from "SYSTEM" to make changes to the folder. I can't take ownership of the folder because it seems to give "Access Denied" errors and revert all of my changes as soon as I close the Permissions window.

    Any suggestions?

    It seems that even with Powershell the file doesn't want to be deleted.

    Replace ''-recurse'' with ''-force'' and see if this time the file is deleted.

    Access denied even with powershell. Maybe with some file deletion program you can eliminate the files but I can't tell you any.

    You should see the WindowsApps folder on your hard drive, put it on command following your hard drive, folder and the rest of the way.
