Windows 10: Is it ok to delete the “WindowsApps” folder in hard drives other than the system drive?

I had two WindowsApps folders in the “program files” folder, one was in my system drive and one was in my other internal hard drive. The one in my system drive did not allow me to open it, while the one in my other hard drive let me open it. I deleted the WindowsApps folder in my other hard drive not the system drive because it was almost 300 gb. Is it ok to do this? I think it was leftover from transferring my computer on an external hard drive multiple times.

Deleting the WindowsApps folder on secondary drive?

Hmm, which is faster. I attempted a Live Linux Drive already but it was very slow and would not boot, not to mention I don't know a thing about using linux.

Would option 2 be easier? I looked at Macrium, but the install steps themselves are confusing me, and I fear not knowing how to navigate it once I boot to it.

EDIT: I installed Macrium Reflect Free, went through these steps to create the media.
Don't forget to check the UEFI/MBR box if you are attempting this yourself.
I then booted to it, "browsed my files for an image", but for real, navigate to the WindowsApps folder on your secondary drive, and delete it. It doesn't disappear instantly, but when you exit the drive, and log back into windows, the folder will be gone.

Thanks for the suggestion cereberus!

There are two tools essential tools that everyone one should always have - Macrium Reflect Free and a dishwasher. *Smile.

 

Deleting WindowsApps Folder from an external Hard Drive

Hello

I have been unable to find the answer to this question

I have and external hard drive that I used to use with a Windows 10 laptop, I recently got a windows 11 desktop and I was trying to clean some stuff off of the External HD and noticed that it has a WindowsApps folder on it that I don't have access to. I am assuming the reason that I don't have access to it is because it was probably created by my old laptop, which I don't have anymore, so I'm just looking for a way to delete this folder from the HD so I can free up some more space. I'm assuming that reformatting the drive would fix this but there is quite a bit of stuff on there that I would prefer not to loose.
