How to Uninstall Games from Microsoft Store
Are you looking to free up some space on your device or simply want to remove a game that you no longer play? Uninstalling games from the Microsoft Store is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. In this article, we will guide you through the process of uninstalling games from the Microsoft Store on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Step 1: Open the Microsoft Store
The first step in uninstalling a game from the Microsoft Store is to open the store itself. To do this, click on the Microsoft Store icon on your taskbar or search for “Microsoft Store” in the Start menu and select the app.
Step 2: Navigate to the game
Once the Microsoft Store is open, you can navigate to the game you want to uninstall by searching for the game’s name in the search bar at the top of the store. Alternatively, you can browse through the games section of the store to find the game you want to remove.
Step 3: Select the game and click on “Manage”
Once you have found the game, click on it to select it. You should see a “Manage” button appear next to the game’s title. Click on this button to view the available options for managing the game.
Step 4: Click on “Uninstall”
In the “Manage” menu, you will see an “Uninstall” option. Click on this option to begin the uninstallation process. A confirmation prompt will appear asking if you are sure you want to remove the game. Click “Yes” to confirm and proceed with the uninstallation.
Step 5: Wait for the uninstallation to complete
After confirming the uninstallation, the game will begin to be removed from your device. This process may take a few moments to complete, depending on the size of the game and your device’s performance. Once the uninstallation is complete, the game will be successfully removed from your device.
Additional Tips
– If you cannot find the “Manage” button for a game, it may be because the game is already uninstalled. In this case, you can try searching for the game in the Start menu or taskbar to see if it appears there.
– If you have multiple games installed from the Microsoft Store, you can use the same process to uninstall them all by repeating steps 2 through 5 for each game.
– If you encounter any issues while uninstalling a game, you can try restarting your device or checking for any available updates for the Microsoft Store app.
By following these simple steps, you can easily uninstall games from the Microsoft Store and keep your device running smoothly.
