Xbox App randomly 'uninstalls' downloaded games then refuses to detect existing files

Bump

The game still says it is already downloaded, though no files exist.

If i type the name of the game into the start menu it pops up. Though none of the right click/more options work for it.

Uninstall does not work either so it's basically stuck thinking the game is already an app and downloaded.

I downloaded an uninstall app and even it can't find the data anywhere, i don't think the data exists. I think there is a massive bug somewhere.

ANY advice is better than none i will try anything, thanks everybody.

I just update this in case anybody else has this issue.

I reinstalled the game (did not have to re-download as all of the files already existed)

I then went into Settings > Apps, selected Dirt Rally 2 and selected the option to "move" the installation to another drive. This worked after some time.... Again in the Settings > Apps I chose to uninstall and this time the game files were removed.

Hi Christopher

Thanks for the quick response, do you know if the Xbox app will detect my games after I uninstall and reinstall or do I have to re-download them again?

Yes - as per my post. I use the media tool to create an iso file and then did a reinstall, keeping my files.

Doing that got everything working again for a few hours.

Unfortunately, most of the problems then recurred (unable to install or uninstall games from the xbox app, cannot cancel existing queued installs, cannot run most games on the xbox app).

I had a similar issue with Ticket To Ride in the Xbox app on PC. Just refused to update - I uninstalled the game, restarted my PC then downloaded it all again and it worked like a treat. Maybe try that?
