    Uninstall leaving componenets behind


    I followed the remove junk files steps here:
    Clean out junk files in Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 | The Download Blog - CNET Download.com
    Plus then run CCCleaner and elected to remove
    Internet files, Temp files, Memory dumps, Log files


    As mentioned I am happy the way my C:\ is at the moment and having just reinstalled all my programs onto D:\ I'm going to leave them there until I change SSD. (and/or do a W10 clean install)

    The printer issue is what I need to resolve.

    Do Windows Store apps leave junk files after uninstallation?

    Uninstalled apps stuck "installing" in Microsoft Store (MSN News)

    Hi Will,

    A corrupted Microsoft Store cache is one of the possible reasons why some apps are stuck in an "installing phase" when you try to uninstall them. We suggest that you try running the
    Windows App troubleshooter to troubleshoot the issue.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you reset the Microsoft Store cache. You can follow the steps below to reset the Microsoft Store cache:

    • Press Windows + R keys to open the run
      command       box.
    • Type WSReset, then try launching Microsoft Store and sign in.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
