Games are big, or drive is small. What games and what size of drive?

How big is your drive. You likely just need to get a bigger one.

Probably because the size of these 3 games and size of Windows is more than 80% of the capacity of the drive.

Settings > System > Storage

See what it says uses up the most storage, you can click on catagories too.

 

These games together should be like 100GB, according to their requirements. Windows is like 20-30GB in size. But size will increase with more updates applied, so that could also be the case.

Awesome! Could you mark @minibois response with the check mark option below the message, so that anyone else who looks up this thread can see that post first, and maybe solve their own problem?
