Can't delete WI-FI Analyzer from Microsoft Store

Question

so i downloaded a WI-FI Analyzer from microsoft store, and the moment i downloaded it it took 40gb off my storage, and yk i wanted my gb's back normally when i downloaded it, it just took 1 sec for it to download, and after i checked how many mb's it was worth it was saying 29mb's. so i uninstalled it from microsoft store, and still didn't get my gb back then i went to settings and went to the Installed App sections, it still wasn't there and when i went to my downloads in file explorer, nothing came up too, then i tried a troubleshooter and the app wasn't even there. i'd really appreciate if someone could help me rn

Answer 1

Hi,

Since the application has been removed, it could be some files created by this application that are taking up the disk space. You can use du to find out which directory these files are located in. Du (disk usage) reports the disk space usage for the directory you specify. Please refer to this link for more details.

Hello there,

If you're having trouble deleting the Wi-Fi Analyzer app from the Microsoft Store, you can try the following steps:

Uninstall from Start Menu: Right-click on the Wi-Fi Analyzer app icon in the Start menu and select "Uninstall" from the context menu. This should initiate the uninstallation process.

Locate Wi-Fi Analyzer: In the Apps settings, scroll through the list of installed apps and locate "Wi-Fi Analyzer." Click on it to select it.

Uninstall Wi-Fi Analyzer: Once you've selected Wi-Fi Analyzer, click on the "Uninstall" button that appears. Follow any prompts or confirmation messages to proceed with the uninstallation.
