    Hi all,


    one of windowsApps folder has a lot of folders that seems like games that I never installed/played -


    WindowsApps has apps I never installed 9fdbae5f-5be3-4e30-96d6-13bd25baf528?upload=true.png


    these games not listed in "Add or remove programs", so no way to delete, and also not clear at first place why Windows downloading them (noticed because of wsappx -p heavy disk usage)


    Any suggestion how to get rid of these data and prevent future download?


    Thank you

    :)

    WindowsApps folder says permissions are corrupted and need to be deleted, is this normal or critical?

    According to your description, I suggest you try the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the location C:\Program Files.
    2. Right-click on the WindowsApps folder, and select Properties.
    3. Turn to Security tab and click on Advanced.
    4. Click on Change and then type Users in Enter the object name to select area.
    5. Click on OK, then click Apply > OK. You can also add the TrustedInstaller to the users list and check if it takes effect.

    However, you might be still not able to access the files. The workaround is to go inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\, and repeat the same way with the Microsoft.WindowsStore* folders.

    WindowsApps has apps I never installed

    Unnecessary apps in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

    I see a lots of versions of the same app in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps. These are apps that I don't even have installed. Overall they are taking up about 10GB.

    1. How can I remove these apps completely?
    2. Or can I keep only the most recent version?

    The storage sense
    suggested here
    or disk cleanup of system files has not helped.

    Here is the log of some of the unnecessary apps with sizes in MB

    Code:
