why can't I permanently delete games from my Xbox series X instead of just hiding them?

I would like to be able to permanently delete games and not have loads of tiles that I have to hide. Do these tiles represent files that waste memory? Would also like my game library show all my games - disc owned and digitally owned.

When you arent in the hhdd

If you are ib the ready to install menu you can hide games

But installed games you can uninstall basically leave ready to install and look at installed games

Hi,Jaykellichner! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Like delete them completely from your library?

As for the disc owned games, you unfortunately can not see the physical games you owned on the digital library

You can't delete games permanently but you can hide them from the ready to install list

I'd suggest it on the feedback suggestion of the Xbox Insiders subreddit. Also I think we should be able to delete 0g games instead of just hiding them.

I have the Xbox series x and my friends have the Xbox one I’m trying to play with them but I can’t find the Xbox one edition it just gives me the Xbox series x edition I don’t know what to do

If your Xbox One friends have game pass and they use cloud play to play the game instead the downloaded version you can play with them.

edit: i forgot to mention, if the xbox one friends have the game installed…they will have to delete it to access the cloud play version…..

this workaround 100% works though, because i’ve done it…so i know it works.

But does this delete your game progress and you have to start over or is it saved? I have Xbox One S and my sister has Series X and we can't play but we just saw this option for cloud based but i'm already a level 20 and i don't want to lose my progress.
