Windows 10: How to move apps to free up storage

I am running out of storage on drive C:, severely so. Within storage settings in Windows 10 there is a list of Apps & features. Within that there are two icons to MOVE or UNINSTALL apps. My MOVE icon is grayed out and does not function. How can I re-activate that icon so I can move some of my apps to a different drive. I am using Windows 10 version 1903. Duane

We suggest that you follow these steps:

• Select the folder which the app is installed (phone or memory card).
• Tap Apps+games.
• Select the app and then uninstall.
• Re-install the app by going to the Store.

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

 

Changing the default storage designation for the Microsoft Windows Store and various apps.

Hi Isaac,

The default storage location for the Windows store and apps is in system location where Windows is stored (This PC-> C drive), if you want to change the default location of the apps then I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the settings
and check if it helps.

• Open Settings and click on the System icon.
• Click on Storage on the left side, on the right side under
  Save locations, select the drive to where you want your
  documents, music, pictures, and/or
  videos to be saved to by default.
• Click/tap on Apply.

The above settings option is available only from the Windows version (10586), I suggest you to check in which version of Windows build in installed on your computer.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you
