    Xbox app game folder delete


    Question: If I uninstall a game on Xbox app, will it delete the source folder on my drive? Coz I don't see the folder in the drive I selected. Since it doesn't let me install to a sub folder I can't see where this thing saved. Want to regain that space. Please advise.

    :)

    Unable to switch hard drive used for Xbox app game downloads on Windows 11

    None of the installed games in that folder appear in the actual Xbox app, as that is the main issue with deleting them, since the folder requires more administrative powers to delete the files from the folder, and I cannot delete or play them from the app either since they are not there

    Xbox app for pc wont install (I have 1903)

    Hi JOSHDL17,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

    It's possible the original files for the app were not properly deleted. Open run window (Windowskey + R) - Type in: "%appdata%" - Delete the Xbox app (beta) for the PC Game Pass folder in the roaming folder (You should be in it already). Go
    back one folder, then you should end up in Appdata - Go to "Local" - Delete the beta Xbox app folder in there too. You can also get to the local folder by typing %localappdata% in the run window. Once you delete the folders for the app the is having issues,
    try re-installing again from this website https://www.xbox.com/xbox-game-pass/pc-games.

    Xbox installer on windows 10 freeze at launch.

    Hi

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

    It seems like the app was possibly not uninstalled or deleted properly from your PC and now it freezes when trying to re-install. Do you see the app still in your Task manager? Click where it says more details and go through each tab
    and locate the Xbox game pass beta app. Right click and then select Open file location, which should open the folder with any files you would still need to delete.
