Hi, it looks as though you are using a 3rd party start menu.
Try right clicking on the shortcut. There may well be a delete option.
Else right click on the folder and see if there's an open option to open it in explorer, then delete.
I commend Geek uninstaller (free) to you. If you always use this to uninstall programs, it scans for leftovers as well. I use it regularly.
Hi, oops, sorry- read that too fast.. these are universal app shortcuts. What I said as you probably realised applies to conventional desktop programs.
If (having done a restart) you open the Win 10 start menu (e.g. SHIFT + Win key) do they appear there too?
How did you uninstall the apps? Rt click, uninstall, or using a Powershell command?
There are no shortcuts to Modern UI apps, these are derived by enumerating the contents of
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\
(which you can't access directly)
See also Windows key + R, then type
shell:appsfolder
If they still exist after a restart, the app hasn't been fully removed.
I think this has been resolved now. First, they were still there after I restarted my PC. When I clicked SHIFT + Win key, as you suggested, I saw them listed still. I then right-clicked and selected 'uninstall' and the label disappeared.
For info, they were originally uninstalled using a Powershell command.
This is what it looks like now -
Thank you for your help. I appreciate it very much.
