Solved Delete Microsoft store app related folders.

Does anybody know the process to delete Microsoft store app related folders when the app install location has been changed to another drive? Some of the folders require "Trusted installer" permission to delete.

The hidden administrator should be able do this, assuming it still there and works as it always has.

you may try to run explorer as the hidden administrator after you have enabled it and added password

Can you provide any more details on this?

Windows has a high level default user which supposedly sits above all other users in the install - I say windows as this has been the case from Vista at least.

This user is the true administrator of the system and should be able to override the permissions of every other user, and is not subject to UAC or other restrictions

due to it's high access rights it is by default hidden - the way to access the user is shown I our tutorial here ...

Once you have access to the user you should be able to login as this user and delete whatever you want to - I say should as sometimes the way that Microsoft apps are built mean that even the Administrator cannot do the job, in these cases it's a case of finding a third party option to do the job

I was able to delete all of the Windows Store related folders/files in Safe Mode, no need for built in admin account. :)
