Hello hugh951,

Welcome to Xbox Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

It seems like you have issues to deleting file o windows app folder. As per description, you wanted to clear some of files from your SSD but still some games mods remains though you have uninstalled the game already.

Let us check on this together and sort this out to assist your concern.

First, you can try the following steps to delete the WindowsApps folder:

1. Uninstall the apps first. You can do this from Settings or Control Panel.
   
2. Change the folder permissions by taking ownership of it. You can use a reg file to add a Take Ownership option to the right-click menu.
   
3. After that, you can delete the folder from the context menu or by pressing Shift + Delete.

Please uninstall the game, delete all files from C:/Program Files/WindowsApps/ with Wasteland3, install again and try to play.

I've now done that 4 times now and get the same error eachtime. after the uninstall the only files with "wasteland" and "3" in it are for fallout and Ark

Sorry to hear that, let's double check something first.
If you try searching for Ark using windows search (Press Windows key and start typing ark)
Are you able to see the game? If that's the case right click on the result and select uninstall/delete
Then restart your PC and check if your drive have more space.

----
If that's not your case, are you able to see a folder related to Ark in this part?

<Drive where you install games>/XboxGames or WindowsApps folder

Let me know

To uninstall the apps and games you do not want, you can right click each one, and select uninstall. As for the WindowsApps folder, it is part of Windows and cannot be removed.
