  1. App with strange size and name can't be uninstalled


    When I checked the Apps in Settings, I found a 2.7TB app with Chinese name, later when i restarted the laptop the app's name was in Chinese, again but with new characters and when I closed the Settings and came back it was the unnamed app again. My disk size is far from TB capacity. I can't find the app by going to the control panel and try to "uninstall". Also 3rd party uninstallers can't find anything.Help!

    :)

    Uninstall or change a program (Some installed apps not listed) !


    Hi guys and thanks for your replies.
    As you suggested Irene I have them listed in "All apps" but it's still not normal not having them listed in windows 10 uninstall app!
    And Roy Computer>C>Users>yourname>appdata>local has all the apps that are currently in " Uninstall or change a program" but
    the apps that are not there are not in this folder either!
    Anyway I find this to be a strange behavior on windows 10 (never had this with any other version). Is this a bug? anyone else have this problem?

  3. Apps Uninstall

    Hi,

    To uninstall an app, just swipe in from the right side of the screen and tap All settings. Select System and then tap Apps & features. You can sort the list of apps by size, name, or install date. If you would like to uninstall an app, select it from the
    list and then tap or click the uninstall button.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Regards.
