    Deleting ProgramData files on C drive


    Hello

    I am wondering if I can delete ProgramData files on C drive so I can free up space and help my pc run faster. I went online and saw related articles but they didn't recommend to delete them. But in ProgramData folder, there are many subfolders of Softwares that I had uninstalled before. So, can I delete subfolders of deleted softwares at least?

    :)

    ProgramData-filder backup

    Hi,

    The ProgramData folder is usually located in the C: drive of your device. To locate the ProgramData folder, you can perform the following:

    • In File Explorer, click on the View tab.
    • Click on Options.
    • In the Folder Options window, click on the View tab.
    • Under the Hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files, folders, or drives.
    • Click on Apply.
    • Click on OK.

    Let us know how it goes after you've performed the steps.

    Can't delete folder in c:\ProgramData\

    While working in the elevated Console Environment, try these commands:

    md C:\Junk

    move C:\ProgramData\Battle.net C:\Junk

    Now reboot, then delete the junk folder.

    Deleting ProgramData files on C drive

    Is it safe to delete hidden files on the C Drive?

    Files like ProgramData, WindowsApps and all the other hidden files on the C Drive in Windows 10?
