Xbox Storage; Games Uninstalling themselves

Cyruim · Nov 5, 2021

About 3 months i noticed that Forza Horizon 4 had been uninstalled, i had not removed it or done anything to cause its files to be removed,

2 months later and Rocket league had also uninstalled. my internet is very bad, and losing ~100 gb's of files is not something that i look forward to so when today i turned on my xbox and found Warzone Uninstalled even though i had played it just this morning, i was very much pissed off, now after losing under 200 gigabytes of games struggling to find a xbox support forum and very much knowing full well that any answer i recieve isnt going to return those files, i find my self trying to re-install e v e r y t h i n g with a ~5mb's download.

What is going on Microsoft???????
i dont ever worry about opening steam and seeing my games gone so why here.

If you cancel an update. The system will delete the game as it’s been corrupted.

Hi there Cyruim welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Are the games disappearing from a external HDD?

By going to settings >system > storage devices > uninstall things . i was able to see that the system had 88gb's of existing files for warzone. so i went to the mc store and went to manage the game where i immediately saw that my disk had a ~90 gbs of space free since i last checked. went back to the system to see all files and they were gone.

as for the Forza and RL files, the game icons werent showing nore files. went to mc store and it wanted me to re install them. still.

also in just under the few hours of posting this, my 'add ons' for Cod CW being multiplayer and zombies have uninstalled them selves aswell.

fantastic

Weird! Have you tried reseting your console?
