Dual boot, OS clean install, but still icons from other OS appear.

Hi folks,

I have a few installations of windows 10 on two separate partitions on an SSD drive on my computer, one is a barebones windows 10, that I use for general surfing and the other windows 10 installation has a lot of music apps etc.

I was having some probs on one of the installations of 10 , the barebones installation and did a clean install on that partition, after formatting it.

Now I was surprised to see some of the music icons from the other installation appear on the desktop after installation, and wonder what is the explanation for this, is it possible that I have somehow asked Microsoft to back up my apps (a little like the android system) and they are simply restoring them to the new installation which I don't want.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks
Joe

You have sync turned on there are options to syn settings desktop and other things

Thanks for reply, any ideas as to where the sync settings are located, would I be right in thinking, if sync is turned on and its not a Microsoft store app, then it may only be a shortcut that appears on the desktop rather than the acuall installed files for the app?

Thanks again.
