are you referring to the first answer? do I buy a new hard disk and then I move all the useless things to it, which will gradually increase, only to have a few applications to work? The answer to the increase in disk space is senseless.

I tried dism ++ but it doesn't find anything in the provisioned apps nor in the normal ones.

I have tried some of the commands you have listed. The app does not appear in the list or if it appears it is only the latest version. The app doesn't even appear in the "provisoning" ones, in this case I can't remove anything with powershell. What else can I do in your opinion? if you tell me the names of programs I will do the test myself. Unfortunately I have several gigabytes to free and I can take some time to try a solution ...

I have tried almost all of them but they are not for the case in question. 13 is interesting. But can bundled apps be run? Do I have are only in the system and cannot be used? For example "ZuneVideo" comes out of my list but I can't run it ... What are these apps for?

WindowsApps folder says permissions are corrupted and need to be deleted, is this normal or critical?

According to your description, I suggest you try the following steps:

1. Navigate to the location C:\Program Files.
   
2. Right-click on the WindowsApps folder, and select Properties.
   
3. Turn to Security tab and click on Advanced.
   
4. Click on Change and then type Users in Enter the object name to select area.
   
5. Click on OK, then click Apply > OK. You can also add the TrustedInstaller to the users list and check if it takes effect.
   

However, you might be still not able to access the files. The workaround is to go inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\, and repeat the same way with the Microsoft.WindowsStore* folders.

 

How to clean up WindowsApps folder?

I tried iobit uninstaller, but there aren't any that I uninstalled in the list. For the old versions it gives me the latest one.

Here for example, there is asphalt9 ver * 600 * "only" and the path is wrong as it says it is on disk C: instead of Q: as you see in the previous image.





I tried with powershell but the applications are not listed ...

I recently did an "on place" installation to not reinstall everything from scratch, maybe something happened? (I swear my patience is tested, windows is full of bugs).
