Windows 10: Is there any way to clean up or move C:\ProgramData ?

The amount of free storage on C: is decreasing steadily. Even though I install most of my apps on another drive (D, C:\ProgramData just keeps getting bigger. Right now C:\ProgramData is 39.2 GB.

Is there anything I can do about this, or does the whole C:\ProgramData have to be on C:?

:)

 

Control Panel Uninstall will not show folders in C:\ProgramData

Hi,

I was trying to use Program Uninstall in Control Panel to get rid of PC Cleaner Pro that is in C:\ProgramData . It wasn't in the list of Programs. It appears that the only programs in the list are in C:\Program Files. Is there any safe way to get Control
Panel to access and remove programs in C:\ProgramData? I have Windows 10 Home Version 1607.

THANKS!!!

Can't delete folder in c:\ProgramData\

While working in the elevated Console Environment, try these commands:

md C:\Junk

move C:\ProgramData\Battle.net C:\Junk

Now reboot, then delete the junk folder.

 

can not find script file "C:\ProgramData\WindowsAppCertification\checker.vbs".

You are dealing with the residue of an infection that your virus scanner eliminated. An easy way to get rid of the message goes like this:

• Log on under an admin account.
• Create a desktop shortcut for cmd.exe.
• Right-click this shortcut, then left-click "Run as administrator".
• Accept the challenge.
• Type these commands exactly and press Enter after each:
  
  md "C:\ProgramData\WindowsAppCertification"
  
  (You might get a message saying that the folder already exists)
  
  cd 2>"C:\ProgramData\WindowsAppCertification\checker.vbs"
• Reboot.
