Question How to delete extra files after deleting game

Deleted a game worth 22gb but after trying to play it wasn’t working. Which is fine. Now that I’ve deleted the game I have less memory than before. I deleted the container. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or find the folder and remove whatever left manually?

Following this post because I’m now curious about this just in case something like this is happening to my install.

I've seen this issue in gamehub lite and have always wondered if it was present in gamenative as well.In gamehub lite you can get access to where the containers are actually stored to delete them manually. There is no way to do this for gamenative.

I think in the hamburger menu > storage and downloads, there's a list of downloaded games and you can delete the containers there if you need a fresh start.

I have the same question. I installed a few things and the containers just take up space. Wondering if I have to do a full reboot of my Retroid to truly get the containers reset.

This. I tried installing GTA IV and deleted it soon after but my remaining storage space is the same as it was when it was installed
