  1. Xbox One Uninstalled Games on its Own


    Greetings support,

    Woke up this morning and powered up my console only to find that the game, Fortnite, had uninstalled itself overnight. I was just playing it yesterday and cannot find a reason why it would completely uninstall itself overnight when the console was powered off. Is there any explanation for this?

    Thank you

    :)

    Xbox One Uninstalled Games on its Own

    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 buddy

    That's odd, do you live with someone? Maybe that person uninstalled the game for you.

    If not, could be a temporary system bug/glitch

    Or if maybe the game is hidden, try power cycling the console:

    1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
    2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.
    Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.
    3. Plug the console power cable back in.
    4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    Aftert that, try to remove and re-add your profile on the console.

    In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

    If the game doesn't appear, was strangely uninstalled

    Cheers

    Game uninstall on its own

    HI,

    When you cancel a update before its fully completely updated and installed, the console will delete the game as some updates to the game are at the core basic level of said game. What this means is core game files are updated to reflect/add the new content.
    If the new content while being installed gets corrupted to power disconnect or Power reset, or user stopping it, It will re-download the entire game.

    I know you probably dont want to hear this but its always best to allow any game updates to finish 100% before trying to play the game.

    Hope this helps.

    Game uninstall on its own

    While it may have shown 100%, it may have still been in the "finalizing" stage of the download while in que.

    Game uninstall on its own

    hello, sorry this happened to you but heres a little lesson to learn and take it from me as i’ve done the same thing you’ve done, NEVER cancel the installation because if it doesn’t confirm/finish installing and you get the notification saying “ready to
    start” it’s not finished so it will cancel the download entirely if you cancel it.

    unfortunately, you will have to redownload the entire game and update again but hey, at least you will know what to do next time.

    best of luck,

    Game uninstall on its own

    So I just updated war zone for season 3 and it said it was 100% done. So I CANCELLED the installation and the whole game uninstalled. 106GB uninstalled on its own. Why did this happen?
    So was the update 106gb? Not the 14gb it said?

    I had everything up to date until this latest season drop, so when I went to download the third season, it said 106gb. Which I think we can all agree is rather absurd lol
