Completely remove application installed from Store

Question

Few days ago I removed one of applications I previously downloaded from Store. I used Remove-AppxPackage -Package "packagefullname" -AllUsers and Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName "packagefullname" -AllUsers commands. Today I again installed same application and I thought it will be like a fresh, new app. But after I opened it, I noticed that my previous settings have been saved.

So my question is simple - how I can completely remove application I have downloaded from Store? I would like to completely wipe out all my previously saved settings, credentials, modifications - everything, so that the next time I install this application, it would be like installed for the very first time. Tips and tricks?

Hi,
Per my searching, windows store app related files will be stored in two folders:
1.C:\ Program Files\ WindowsApps-----installation package
2.C:\Users \ username \AppData\ Local \Packages-----temp data

You could check if any leftover files after running the powershell commands and manually delete them.

If this not work, you may go to advanced options for the app you want to remove and click reset button to remove data stored, after then, run the powershell command to remove the app package.

Hello,

Instead you can go to Settings > System > Apps & features > App name > Advanced options > click Reset to remove the application data and switch it to default state.
