    Accidently deleted important UWP packages.


    I was trying to deep clean Windows, but I regret touching the WindowsApps folder. I forcefully deleted some of the folders which I thought weren't important. I did actually find the folders who represented the programs I had installed earlier, and aren't present anymore, so it shows how bad Windows manages bloat and doesn't remove them. But then not knowing the naming of the packages, I deleted some packages like UI.XAML. Now a lot of Windows programs are broken. SFC and DISM restore health commands don't fix it. Seems like a Windows re-install is what I should do, but I don't have the time

    :)
