Help me get rid of the old MSIX files on my phone.
Help me get rid of the old MSIX files on my phone.
I just used WizTree to check my hard drive and found a huge file called MSIXVC taking up 54% of it. I don't know what this is because nothing that big comes from the Windows Store, so I can't delete it manually. I tried deleting it through Windows Admin, but that didn't work either. Since I changed permissions on the apps folder and someone in a Reddit thread told me to avoid removing the store just in case, I'm stuck until now. I have Halo MCC installed via Steam, which needs Xbox Live anyway, so why is there even an MSIXVC file here? It's weird because this big file doesn't belong anywhere else on my computer.
I tried using CCleaner. My Xbox app kept auto-downloading Forza Horizon 5 on my PC without asking me to stop it. When I noticed, it had already used all of my internet speed and filled up 101 GB of space for the game (which is a lot). I stopped the download. Usually, when I cancel downloads halfway through, the files get deleted automatically. But those files stayed there instead. A 100 GB file was taking up random space on my PC. Even with admin rights, I couldn't open my Windows folder in File Explorer to see it. So I opened CCleaner as an administrator and deleted that huge file inside the MSIXVC folder. I still didn't know what happened after deleting it.
