Answer 1

Hi Curtis Borowski,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I'm happy to help.

You may follow Q&A Assist suggestions to remove unwanted programs.

Some programs may leave files on the system even after uninstalled because of their uninstaller is not well designed enough. You may use third-party uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller / Geek Uninstaller / Wise Program Uninstaller to uninstall them, or even scan for leftover files on your system.

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

To help narrow down the issue:

1. Do you mean your apps are missing, or your files and icons? What exactly is missing? Apps, files, or both?
2. Are you logged into the same account as before?
3. Do you still see your files in File Explorer > Documents/Desktop?

To delete unwanted programs on your Windows device, follow these steps:

1. Select the Start button.
2. Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
3. In the list of installed applications, select the app you want to uninstall.
4. Click on Uninstall to remove the selected app.

If you have recently noticed symptoms of unwanted software, you can sort the apps by install date and uninstall the most recent apps that you did not install. Additionally, you may need to remove browser add-ons in your web browsers if they are causing issues.

For further assistance, if the removal is unsuccessful, you can refer to troubleshooting resources for malware detection and removal problems.
