Just use the add/remove Windows 10 feature or right click and hit un-install. Then Big Brother's sister is gone, maybe. I would still recommend searching file folders after that because Windows keeps a folder with deleted pre-installed apps, even after you delete them. I deleted practically every single pre-installed app on the first day I got my laptop. Even Mcafee anti-virus because the file is over 1 GB and they bug the crap out of you. There are better and less obnoxious alternatives available. I found a folder called "deleted all user packages" with 956MB of data. To be honest, I'm not 100% certain anything is ever truly deleted, especially with Microsoft, and I'm not confident enough to delete it myself. I have tried using a few different third party apps like CCCleaner and that folder still remains intact. Get either WinDirStat or Space Sniffer to help you find unwanted files on your hard drive. Both of them are free and I prefer WinDirStat. It will provide the file pathway or take you exactly to the file. That's how I found that folder. They are fantastic for disk management. Especially when Windows says you have 20 GB of apps and features and you have no idea what they are talking about. This may be TMI but hopefully it was helpful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
