Xbox files on a PC are typically stored in the `WindowsApps` folder, which is a hidden folder located in the `Program Files` directory on the drive where Windows is installed. However, accessing this folder requires having administrator privileges. You can view and manage these files by enabling hidden items in the folder view options and then taking ownership of the `WindowsApps` folder through the folder's properties security tab.
