a couple of days ago I purchased a game from the store. it was not the one I thought I was purchasing but now I can't get away from that purchase because it is on my xbox and I want to delete it so I can try to get the game I wanted to start with... frustrating. so how do I get a purchase deleted from the store. I just want it to go away. this is posted under windows gaming but it might apply to any purchase from the store. chas

I don’t have an XBox but I would think that if it’s hidden in your Microsoft account then it’d also be hidden on the XBox.
I’ve found a couple of links about hiding purchases:
https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/691088-xbox-one...
https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/253802-home-x...
If that doesn’t work then I’m sure one of the other volunteers on here who have that game console will be able to help you.
I will try it. I wish Microsoft would send me the right program instead of the one I ordered by mistake. the store was vague about different farming simulator updates. after I got the wrong one I went back and found out what I should have done. both programs were the same price but I already had the farming simulator on disk and I didn't want that one. I wanted the platinum with the south American farm on it. oh well. I am scared about buying the xbox x because if the wrong farming simulator shows up it makes me a problem. chas
thank you. but can I hide it from my xbox so I can download the right farming simulator? chas
Hello Charles, I’ll be assisting you.
Unfortunately while you can hide any app or game which you have bought on the MS store you cannot delete it. You could always leave Feedback via the feedback hub.
