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
This loooks like one of them..
Movie Maker – Free Video Editor – Videopix store
but clicking the Store link there gives
- withdrawn?
You might try Revo Uninstaller V4 - which added the ability to remove Store apps.

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.

I have Revo Uninstaller 2.2.0 (free) and it has the uninstall "Windows Apps section.
But looking at the pic on the Revo website of the new version 2.2.2, it doesn't show the "Windows Apps section.
This is 2.2.0 (free) version...
Ofc, I have already deleted all the Windows Apps, except the ones shown. I used Revo to uninstall them.
Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of what was there before I deleted them all.
I don't have any store apps though.
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.Thank you for your reply.

Eventually ended up forcing ownership and deleting the app folder. Recovered over 800 MB.
Thanks for all your feedback
