Was installing sea of thieves on xbox app, computer crashed, and lost everything

NolanSteven · Mar 26, 2022

Me and my friend had used to play sea of thieves and decided to give it a try. My friend bought the Xbox game pass and we started installing the application. We decided to play another game while we waited, and my computer froze and crashed. I force restarted it and once I tried installing the game again, it said I didn't have enough storage even though I had enough while installing the game. I looked up answers and even found a response from this sight, telling me to go to my windows cache to delete a file, but still it did not work. I tried updating my computer, and downloading from the Microsoft store. I don't want to have wasted my friends money, so anybody have any fixes?

Hi NolanSteven! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

So if I understand correctly the problem it's that the game files are using space right? Have you already cancelled the game installation?

Hello Ricardo! Indeed the game files are using space, but my problem is that I can not find the files. I went to the settings for apps and features, and looked for sea of thieves. I looked up the letter s and did not find the file.

Sea of Thieves is also on the Xbox Game Pass app on Windows as well, just in case you are bot getting the option to install the game on your computer via the microsoft store.

It'll actually just show up in your downloads under the Sea of Thieves game. No codes. Got to My Games and Apps, then Sea of Thieves, hit manage game and it should be ready to install.
