  1. Uninstalled an app but its left user data somewhere on my pc


    I installed an app called multilogin and tried their free trail. After the trial expired i deleted it. Few weeks later (today) i downloaded it again and i was still logged into the app. I've run ccleaner, looked through %appdata% but i can't seem to find where they've stored my login details. Does anyone have any idea where it could be stored or how to find it? I don't like the idea of it being on my pc after i've deleted the app.

    thanks in advance

    :)

    Uninstall Apps in Windows 10  


    Hello Geoff, Uninstalled an app but its left user data somewhere on my pc :)

    Q1) If it's a built-in app, then the user can restore the app using that tutorial only if the app was uninstalled for their account and not for all users. Being able to restore an app that was uninstalled for all users using the PowerShell command is currently broken in Windows, and break all built-in apps if used. The only way to restore them then is to do a repair install.

    Q2) That's correct. If a built-in app is not listed in under step 3 in OPTION TWO, then it can't and be uninstalled. Those would be apps that are used by Windows, and shouldn't be uninstalled. For example, Microsoft Edge.

    Q3) I haven't tied it to know, but I would assume that to be so.
