    Hi Faith,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    What method did you use to uninstall those games, did you uninstall them correctly from inside the settings app, or just delete the files for those apps?

    2

    Open the old Control Panel, not the Settings app, then set View at the top right to icons and then open Programs and Settings, if those games appear in the list there, choose the option to uninstall them, you should then be informed they are no longer installed and asked if you want to remove them from the list.

    3

    If that does not work, then those entries are stored in the registry and you would need to search through the registry to delete any reference to those apps.

    Please backup you registry before dong that.
