Minecraft education taking storage even though I don't have the app

Hey there! My name is Jason one of your Team here in Microsoft Community Just like you i am also helping our Community by sharing thoughts and ideas.

So The Program Files\WindowsApps\ folder for Minecraft Education Edition exists because Windows installs or caches certain system or "provisioned" applications, even though you might not have installed them yourself. They can occupy space and aren't always listed in "Add or Remove Programs."

Since the WindowsApps folder is protected, you can't delete it directly without adjusting permissions.

I sort some information to help you out Alana

Step 1: Remove it using PowerShell

Open PowerShell as Administrator

(Press Win + X → select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Terminal (Admin))

Run this command: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *minecraft* | Remove-AppxPackage

This command removes any installed or provisioned version of Minecraft, including Education Edition.

Or this option Remove Provisioned App for New Users (Optional)

Even if it's removed for the current user, Windows can still reinstall it for new user accounts. To fully remove it: Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*minecraft*"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

Hope that will help

best regards

Jason
