    What is the C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps\Deleted folder?


    Hi,I'm trying to clear out space and this folder is taking up 82 GB, and has 3.2 million files in it. I can't delete it, and I have no idea if I can should delete it, as it seems like the WindowsApps folder is quite sensitive and I shouldn't be messing around.Can someone help out? Can I delete this?P.S: Is there any way to delete this without having to change the permissions? I get that it's the easiest way but with this many files it just takes way too long.

    :)
