Joy,

You need to find and then delete the stats files. On my system they were called Statistics.ark and there were two of them.
They are located at:C:\Users\*******\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\UserData\2535451669916703
(that last link may be different 0n your system).
Or, you could just use a decent search app find the STATISTICS.ARK file(s) and get rid.

Regards,

My apologies, that appears to delete the stats copy on the local machine, which is then reloaded from the cloud (I assume).

Anyone know how to delete the cloud file(s)?
Thanks,

I found a posting which is for deleting upwanted apps. (in my case XBOX aka solitaire stats).

I followed the instructions in the following link;
http://www.teoti.com/useful/136127-how-to-remove-xbox-from-windows-10.html

Apparently changing 'XBOX' to whatever app you want rid of works. (I've only tried it with XBOX and my local copy of Solitaire is unharmed.

If you want to reset the statistics in the entire collection, do this:

1. Open File Explorer
2. Enter the following in the address bar: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
(Don't forget to enter your specific username).
3. Delete all the files and folders that come up.
4. The files and folders will return on reboot so you can continue to play the games, but the statistics will be gone.

I looked for a solution for months and tried everything suggested on these threads. Nothing worked, but I found a solution on my own. It takes some simple computer skills and some trust: Using Windows Exployer, search "This PC" for "solitaire". It may take some time, but several lines will appear. Select the one that contains the complete path and "Open file location". Once open, you will see several files. Select "SolitaireSettings" and delete it. If you are neverous, just change the name, but either way, you can now call up "Solitaire" and you will have a fresh game.

The original poster , after the single post, has not been for almost two years, so I guess she solved the problem.

Heres how:
1. Go to settings
2. Click on ''Apps and features''
3. Search ''Solitare''
4. Click it
5. Go to Advanced Options
6. Click Reset

How do I reset scores in Microsoft Solitaire to zero ?

Click "Apps & Features" in the left pane.
Now, scroll down the page on the right side and seek for "Microsoft Solitaire Collection." Select "Advanced Options" from the drop-down menu.
After pressing the Reset button, you will be invited to press it again.

Wow! Thread is almost 5 years old in origin - and still replies!

Well, you can still have the reoccurring problem that one had 5 years ago.
