Deleting the WindowsApps folder on secondary drive?

First of all, unless you reset pc storage back to C drive, you could run into problems, just deleting it.

The easiest way to delete it is to create a live linux drive and boot from it, then just delete the folder from there.

Alternatively, you can do it booting from a Macrium Rescue Drive using its 'file explorer.

Hmm, which is faster. I attempted a Live Linux Drive already but it was very slow and would not boot, not to mention I don't know a thing about using linux.

Would option 2 be easier? I looked at Macrium, but the install steps themselves are confusing me, and I fear not knowing how to navigate it once I boot to it.

EDIT: I installed Macrium Reflect Free, went through these steps to create the media.
Don't forget to check the UEFI/MBR box if you are attempting this yourself.
I then booted to it, "browsed my files for an image", but for real, navigate to the WindowsApps folder on your secondary drive, and delete it. It doesn't disappear instantly, but when you exit the drive, and log back into windows, the folder will be gone.

Thanks for the suggestion cereberus!

There are two tools essential tools that everyone one should always have - Macrium Reflect Free and a dishwasher. .
