Solve : Windows Store Apps Removal?

Answer» <html><body><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/discovered-440478" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DISCOVERED">DISCOVERED</a> Skype was running on my clean build of Windows 10 when poking <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/around-884554" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about AROUND">AROUND</a> in Task Manager. <br/><br/>Tried to locate it to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/uninstall-7273166" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UNINSTALL">UNINSTALL</a> it and its nowhere to be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/found-458144" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FOUND">FOUND</a> from any safe uninstall locations.<br/><br/>I found its contents in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\   ( BUT by default you dont have access to the contents... so I had to force <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ownership-250003" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OWNERSHIP">OWNERSHIP</a> to look at the contents within this folder and then there Skype was, BUT I didnt want to just delete the files because they had a service that is hidden that Windows calls to at boot and didnt want to cause problems with a service being called that no longer exists mess. )<br/><br/>Looking online I found this here:<br/><a href="https://superuser.com/questions/533170/how-to-fully-uninstall-a-windows-store-app">https://superuser.com/questions/533170/how-to-fully-uninstall-a-windows-store-app</a><br/><br/>And someone suggested using a free tool called GeekUninstaller which did the trick.<br/><a href="https://geekuninstaller.com/">https://geekuninstaller.com/</a><br/><br/>Sharing this here in case others want to remove Windows Store App junk from their Windows 10 builds.<br/><br/>*Note: When Skype was selected from the list, it started removal. It then displayed as seen in 2nd pic that some registry key fixes needed to be done. I clicked finish and then it removed the key entries and after reboot the computer is still running with no problems and skype is gone now.  <br/></body></html>
