    Uninstalled App Still Using Storage


    I have recently uninstalled Forza Horizon 5 on my PC to free up some space, so I can play Flight Sim. However it has had no effect on the storage, but there is no indication of it still being there in the files of my PC. I have restarted an updated but still no effect.

    We suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Launch Storage Sense.
    • 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.

    Let us know how it goes.

    How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

    Any suggestions? *Confused Uninstalled App Still Using Storage :confused:

    Uninstall Apps in Windows 10  


    Hello Geoff, Uninstalled App Still Using Storage :)

    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.
