  1. How to Delete Files in Windows Apps Folder


    Hi, I unable to delete files in the Windows Apps folder. I have tried all recommended options and they still do not work. Additionally, I have tried both Powershell and Command Prompt to no avail. I am confident that these files are not necessary to operating my PC as they are games I installed with XBOX Game Pass PC. I just cant figure out why I cannot delete. C:\Users\Username>del "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\KalypsoMediaGroup.Tropico6Win_15.2.490.0_x64__e60j8nnj33ga6" C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\KalypsoMediaGroup.Tropico6Win_15.2.490.0_x64__e60j8nnj33ga6\*, Are you sure Y/N? y C:\Pro

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink How to Delete Files in Windows Apps Folder ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

    How to Delete Files in Windows Apps Folder

    Trouble deleting a folder

    Download norton commander for windows and try it. I`m using it for deleting those autorun.inf virus files that stuck to the USB drives or second non system partition. If no file is used from windows folder NC should erase it easy. And there is Hiren`s boot disk that you can download it is bootable and has volkov commander on it similar to NC and it runs in DOS and it will delete windows folder 100%. Or you can make USB stick bootable and use deltree command.
