    deleting app from Apps section on settings i f'ed up


    so a while back i was trying to free up space on my computer for a new game that is fatter in size than trying to download the internet. my smart brain decided to, instead of uninstalling the app from settings, to manually search for the files of the games i was trying to delete, and manually recycle them. Today, i was scrolling through settings and saw that it still had the app names there. i tried to uninstall it, but i had stupidly deleted the uninstaller lol. any work arounds to getting rid of the app in settings?P.S I HAVE GOT WINDOWS 11 PRERELEASE DEV CHANNEL

    :)

    Cannot delete Windows Apps files

    Suggested options for undeletable items:
    1. Delete when Windows is not running
    a. from a command prompt via SHIFT + left click Restart and navigate to a command prompt
    - if you are very confident in using it.
    b. boot your system from a boot disk such as Kyhi's availabel from the top of the Software and Apps section. Familiar file explorer

    2. Use a 3rd party utility which can be set to delete on reboot (outside Windows).
    e.g.
    EMCO Moveonboot
    Fileassassin (files only)

    Note: radical steps to remove all those saves relatively little space.
    Much safer to use the tutorials here to remove unwanted apps using Powershell.

    Can't remove apps with Root App Delete

    We have a new Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 running Android 7. I have it rooted, and I still can't remove apps with root app delete. Some googling lead me to something about the system partition being locked, and running commands in a terminal app. I tried mount -o rw,remount system and then it says system not in /proc/mounts

    Not sure what's going on here, just want the bloat off the tablet... evidently these protected partitions also make it impossible for things like AdAway to work, which is also a big disappointment.

    TechPowerUp Android App 2016

    Yep, just realize theres no emoticons
    And i dunno its from the app or something, sometimes i need to refresh several times to show the content

    One more please add app update notification from the app or button for reporting bugs or suggestion


    One suggestion, may you put menu on dropdown on top corner so we can move without pressing back again and again


    Thank you
