    Hi Ayushman

    Yes, that would have created those folders, they are no longer required and are safe to delete

    Hi Ayushman

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    Did you at some time change the setting for where Microsoft Store Apps and games will be downloaded to that drive?

    if you did, then go to Settings - System Storage - Change where new contents is saved to

    Make sure that is not set to that drive you can then delete that folder, if Windows 10 allows you to, it can be very difficult to delete the WIndowsApps folder . . .

    and there is also a "program files" folder in the same drive that contains a empty folder name "modifiable windows app"

    what you say about this?
