Uninstalling Game Pass for PC Games

Guys_Im_Tyler · Nov 4, 2021

Hello, I am unable to uninstall any Game Pass for PC games that I have previously installed. I tried to uninstall them through the xbox app on the PC, through the Microsoft Store app, through settings, and finally the OS:>programfiles>windowsapps route. The windowsapps route seems to have the best chance of succeeding, however after changing the ownership of the folder and all subfolders and files to my account I still cannot uninstall any of the games that are still being stored there. If anyone knows what to do I would appreciate the help.

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.

Hello @Guys_Im_Tyler! I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing.

May I ask you are you encountering any error codes/ messages when you try to download the games.
