Cleaning 3rd party app garbage from Windows Apps folder

Running Windows 10 Version 20H2
I have never used or installed the redlined apps here but they appear in WindowsApps folder.
They are not present on my computer so I cannot "Uninstall" them.



How can I get rid of these folders?
1) Professionalsoft pdf professional - Not installed on my PC and does not even come up when I search Windows App store.
2) Videopix movie maker (2 versions) - Not installed on my PC

You can delete them from within TreeSize which you appear to be using

Treesize fails to delete even when running as admin. The folder has system permissions only.
I an a sysadmin guy. I can change ownership and delete but not sure it will screw up something else somewhere.

You might try Revo Uninstaller V4 - which added the ability to remove Store apps.
Revo Uninstaller Pro - What is new in Revo Uninstaller Pro 4

Revo did not find these apps.

Thank you for your reply.


You show Revo 2: I cited Revo 4:



I have 3 Pro, so can't confirm.

Further, that may only apply where the apps are installed normally, rather than remnants- you'd have to try it.

Otherwise you will have to change permissions on the Windowsapps folder and delete items manually, or boot your PC from a live boot disk, and then do that (no permissions issues).

I used Revo free. I suppose it is the old version they give free. It does list the Windows Apps installed but the 2 culprits were not on the list.
Eventually ended up forcing ownership and deleting the app folder. Recovered over 800 MB.
Thanks for all your feedback
