Win10 Xbox App download Cache location?

Lloyd.M · Nov 3, 2019

Hi

I have a strange issue where i tried downloading GoW4 last night, though didn't finish before shutting down. Booting backup today the app seems to have forgotten i was mid download and is asking to install
again from scratch.

I was hoping simply running the install again would pickup where it left off from the downloaded Cache files. 2 issues...

As windows has allocated the space already i dont have enough space to pass the 'Harddrive space check' (133GB, so 266GB total...)

the cache appears hidden, i ran WinDirStat but the 133GB doesn't show up. In fact this program shows my harddrive size as now 133gb smaller... little over 300GB, where my computer shows it as 463GB

Any way to clear the Cache or other ideas?

:)

resolved, it was caused by poor microsoft programming of Win10/Xbox app. Doesn't seem to check for installing files or have a file integrity checker.

Solution: clear enough space to install the program twice (266GB in my case....) If your hard drive is smaller than this you must reinstall Windows...

Microsoft should address this.

Hi,

The xbox app seems to have an issue with recognizing install location.

Similar issue for me where existing already downloaded games just disappear (I can redownload them though...)

Mqybe try to change the default location (Settings-> general° _ that did not work for me (qfter that i had a weird instanc where one of the game started where downoad was reset to0%, but since no luck)

(Solution) I worked with support on this and ended up having to install game on a different drive. This is because the download got corrupted and the file is still in the downloads for the game pass app.

I was unable to delete the files in this location: DeliveryOptimization\Cache.
