No matter what actions I take, I’m unable to remove them even when they request access. It says permission from the SYSTEM is needed, which I can’t provide. With a 128GB SSD and no games or movies downloaded, there’s still space, but it’s inaccessible.

Additional checks and similar installations of Halo Wars 2, which I removed months back. Still figuring out the process to remove it.

Occasionally the command line works better. Have you considered simply removing the folders in Windows Explorer instead of using the file manager shown in the screenshots? It seems confusing. Could you clarify how the process actually functions when deletion isn’t possible?

I just spent four minutes searching for instructions on how to uninstall a Windows game, but they’re not available anywhere. It’s frustrating because building a game delivery service makes such an important step so difficult. It’s like discovering your brake in the trunk of your car and having to go back there—because it’s a manual transmission, you actually need to use the brake.

It can guide you through adjusting the access rights for Windows Apps folder, allowing you to remove files and contents yourself.

I attempted using Explorer, which displayed a prompt stating the file couldn't be deleted because it requires permission from "SYSTEM." It didn't ask for approval and simply closed.

MS IMO has produced quite a few questionable tools. OneDrive removes my files, and the synchronization isn't functioning properly... And don't even get me started on the 1mb/s restriction.
