Why does live delete games?

HippyMinerChris · Oct 3, 2017

I've downloaded/brought many games but my hard drive is not that big so I have to delete them if I want to play a new game but I've been finding that they keep deleting games when I go and download to play again. I just don't get why they keep deleting games
that people have paid money for, I brought Red Dead Redemption in December for about £8 or £9 for only to play for a few hours to delete to make more room only to try and download again to find out I can't. It's happened with Forza Horizon and another game
too, does anyone have any idea why they're doing that. Also the prices are stupid, I paid a combined £27 for a game that was 10 years old and 7 years old, I would buy them in the shop but my disc drive is broke again (2nd xbox it's happened to plus my best
mates disc drive is broke) so I have to download them. It's really starting to annoy me that I have to download over priced games on a small hard drive to delete if I want to play a another overpriced game because I can't play discs because the disc drives
all ways breaks. I hope it's different and better on Xbox One otherwise I might get a PS4.

Make Kinect Optional, Lower the Price on Consoles that don't come with Kinect!

Problem download stop 79%

Does your account region match your actual region?

If not that maybe why

it must match for thr best experience with live unless you dont live in an xbox live region

that being said you can try a hard reset of yiur modem and router for 5mins and delete the file and system cache

Many thanks Brad,

Does that make the Microsoft email deleted and not just the Microsoft Account? I was under the impression that the only way you can delete a Microsoft Email and Skype service for example is by deleting the entire Microsoft account.

The problem is this will delete Xbox Live account as well. This is why I was thinking whether changing the Xbox Live Gamertag profile alias to another primary email such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc and then deleting the Microsoft Account will not erase the Xbox Live
profile? Or will that go away too?

Also I thought there was a 60 day window period if in case you were to delete an email or MS account if you log back in the deletion process will be reverted. But no where does it say that you can keep Xbox Live account but be able to delete Microsoft account
alongside the Microsoft email. This is where I am getting confused.

I recommend you delete your saved game data from console or some dlc that may corrupt the game that is why it does not start

here is what i did...

I deleted the profile only, not any of the items or save games.

its working now for all the games, my profile was at one point file size 60mb.

so why does a bigger profile file size suddenly have issues when it comes to select games running on live etc.
