I am having the bug where the game thinks I don't own it, very disappointing, main reason I got Gamepass. Now I want to uninstall to free up space and all it does is remove the 220kb "app" instead of removing all 4.8 gb.
I've tried Windows Store, XBOX app, Minecraft Launcher and add or remove programs, none of which actually remove the files.
I've tried manually locating the files to delete them but it requires SYSTEM permissions to delete and even if I try to assign myself permission to delete it it says that the permissions are corrupted.It was fun playing this game ONCE before it decided that I couldn't play anymore. please stop holding my harddrive space hostage.
I have a feeling this has something to do with the game being installed on a drive that is not the C Drive, as when I tried to "Install" it through the Minecraft Launcher It thought my E drive was my C Drive.
Occurs in Windows.
Update on this issue:This issue is likely as a result of trying to install and launch the game on different drives.
As a workaround, you might like to try installing the game on the C: drive.

All accounts belonging to Mojang employees, and employees who are part of the quality assurance team (MCQA) don't have consistent name colors. Mojang accounts most often have red names and MCQA accounts most often have yellow names, but this does not apply to all of them.
Expected result:
All Mojang accounts would have a red name and all MCQA accounts would have a yellow name.
Observed result:
These Mojang accounts have a yellow name (as opposed to red, but writing all of the red ones here would take forever):
These MCQA accounts have a yellow name (as expected):
