    Prevent removed apps from reinstalling


    Yup I am aware of WindowsApp's permissions tweaking as I done it manually. Haha I've alrdy removed the directories by changing the $apppath in the first script you provided before I asked this, so I don't know if the new script would work either.

    So if I run this new script, by right it should remove the directories from both folders right? Thanks again for your help *Biggrin

    We'll just have to wait until they come back with the next upgrade *Smile

    You're welcome and yes - that's the idea... The Remove-Item line just means "delete the folder with whatever the name $apppath has" and the takeown and icacls lines are a pretty standard (if old fashioned) way to give yourself authority.
