Why doesn't Microsoft offer the option to delete games from my Player Library? It's really...

I understand your point, if you want to share this idea directly to the Xbox team you can post this idea in the Xbox Insiders subreddit.

You can see the guidelines of how to do that visiting the next link

Thank you Manuela!

Its a great idea, but what I want is not to hide the problem, but to solve it.



Remove it for sure. Something like this already works on Steam, but of course I don't want to use Steam, but Xbox Store (pc version)

What you say: "could exist the possibility that someone deletes a game, you payed, and you like it without your knowledge." There is a risk of this happening.

The solution to this is to ask several times if I want to delete it while highlighting which game/program it is. And also the fact that they don't allow minors to do that, so there's no need to worry about that.

Of course, sometimes older people just press the next button when the program asks if they are sure. There is also a solution for this: a thirty-day restore option.

I would put this feature in a place where only those who are sure what they are doing can find it. For example, it would only be available on the website and not in the app.

Hello Norbert, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you

Something like that doesn't seems viable to implement, because could exist the possibility that someone deletes a game you payed and you like it without your knowledge.

Actually the closest thing to "delete" a game is hidding it from your library.

For this go to My Games and Apps > Full library > Highlight the game, press the menu button and select "Hide"

It's because you don't want to mess with large databases deleting things randomly from them. They can have a catastrophic results. This is one of the reasons for instance you saw situation's like the "hot coffee "problem with Grandtheft auto. Because deleting that Park could have introduced an incredible number of problems, they simply wall it off. This is standard practice in the industry

The same thing goes with your game collection. Is permanently deleting them, Rather than hiding them which accomplishes the same result really worth taking that risk?

I hate to tell you but we see people every single day with deleter remorse.

Thank you, I understand if there is no possibility of solving the problem in this way, because it's too risky, but deep down I was hoping for it. 😅
