Why Unistalled Apps Can't Decrease Memory Disk

Hello can anyone help me?

I have uninstalled several applications on my laptop but the storage doesn't decrease.

I checked it on Treesize, and it's still the same. Even if I try to delete it with Treesize, I still can't because SYSTEM as administrator limits it. I'm confused as to why I don't have administrator rights. Even after trying Disk Cleaning it still doesn't change.

    Hi,

    Could you restart your computer? Sometimes, the uninstall process doesn’t fully complete until after a reboot. Give it a try and check if the storage changes.

    Secondly, Manual Deletion-

    Navigate to the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages directory. Replace the Username with your actual username. Look for any folders related to the uninstalled apps and delete them manually.
