Grid not covering all the screen in UWP app

Why my grid is not covering all the screen and how can i fix it? On the designer looks like it should be covering all the width of the screen, but actually leaves a big space on the rigth.

 <Grid Background="GreenYellow">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="200"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        <RowDefinition/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>


</Grid>

This code is only a snip, but even with childs the space its there on different sizes.

Edit 1:

Acoording to Luis C. answer i get the same result big empty space to the left:

still a blank space to the left

I found a strange workaround to achieve what i want:

 <Grid  Background="Yellow">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="200"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Grid Grid.Row="0">
        <TextBlock Text="This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite. This is a very large text that only is used to strech all the childrens to the infinite" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
        <Button Content="Black" Background="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
    </Grid>


    <Button Grid.Row="1" Content="Black" Background="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
    <Button Grid.Row="2" Content="Black" Background="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />

</Grid>

The result is:

Result with workaround

Still its a very strange way to workaround the problem.

Full Code

As you see, im using a SplitView on a GridView that loads Pages(like the one with the mentioned problem) on a Frame inside the SplitViewContent. Other Pages with TextBlock as childrens cover the whole screen as i want. The code for the SplitView is:

<Page

<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <RelativePanel>
        <Button Name="HamburgerButton" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" Content="&#xE700;" FontSize="36" Click="HamburgerButton_Click" Background="LightGray"/>
        <!--<Button Name="BackButton" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" Content="&#xE72B;" FontSize="36" Visibility="Visible" Background="LightGray"/>-->

            <CommandBar.Content>
                <TextBlock Name="BarTitle" Text="Title" FontSize="24" Margin="24,8,0,12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />

            </CommandBar.Content>
        </CommandBar>

               CompactPaneLength="56" 
               HorizontalAlignment="Left">
        <SplitView.Pane>
            <ListBox SelectionMode="Single" 
                     Name="IconsListBox" 
                     SelectionChanged="IconsListBox_SelectionChanged">
                <ListBoxItem Name="SymbolsListBoxItem">

                        <Image Source="x" Width="36" Height="36" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"> </Image>
                        <TextBlock x:Uid="Symbols" Text="[Symbols]"  FontSize="24" Margin="20,0,0,0" />
                    </StackPanel>
                </ListBoxItem>                 
            </ListBox>
        </SplitView.Pane>
        <SplitView.Content >
            <Frame Name="FrameHolder"></Frame>
        </SplitView.Content>
    </SplitView>
    <Frame Name="HomePageFrame" >
        <!-- Frame not used by now-->
    </Frame>

</Grid>

You just need to remove the "RowDefinition" without height and change the "Auto" Rows to "*".

Something like this:

<Grid Background="GreenYellow">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="200"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Button Grid.Row="0" Content="Black" Background="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
    <Button Grid.Row="1" Content="Black" Background="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
    <Button Grid.Row="2" Content="Black" Background="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />

</Grid>
