    Xbox game pass for PC - uninstalled games still take up storage space


    I uninstalled some games from my Xbox game pass (PC) using the uninstall option in the Xbox app (on PC).

    But the storage space in my SSD did not return to what it used to be, before the game was installed.

    We're talking about upwards of 10Gb. It can't be other files because the drive was solely for games.

    Anyone can help?

    :)

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Pelireiska

    May I know if inside XboxGames folder you're able to see the Naraka folder?

    Or if you go to your installed apps via Windows settings, Naraka appears as installed? (Or open Windows menu and start typing Naraka, shows you a result?)

    I'll be waiting for your answers, greetings from another Microsoft user

    What about enabling hidden files?

    Did you tried using a third party program to clean possible cached files not detected by the regular system cleanup?
