Yes, that WinodwsApps folder is the same folder that contains all the Windows built-in Apps and functionality, so that folder cannot be deleted, if that folder is inside C:\Program Files, because Windows will stop working . . .

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .
The WindowsApps folder is the most protected folder on a Windows 10 system and changing that folder can corrupt your Windows 10 installation, because it also contains all the built-in UWP Apps in Windows 10, along with your Start Menu and Settings Apps
Are you referring to the WindowsApps folder that is inside C:\Program Files, or did you move that to another drive and want to remove that folder form the other drive?
