There are some extraordinary folders in Windows 10, which you should know about. WindowsApps is one such concealed organizer and isn’t open for the most part. In this article, we’ll talk about this WindowsApps folder and see what reason it serves. Without some minor tweaking, we cannot access it. This folder contains files of all the applications and software that you download from Microsoft Store or from other sites. Sometimes, even after you delete that application, the files associated to that application will still be stored in that folder. So, when you check the size of that folder, it will be in GBs. So once you gain access to that folder, you can easily delete unwanted files.

What is WindowsApps folder?

So WindowsApps folder is essentially a framework folder holding records for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) bundles. These bundles are used in UWP applications. Each UWP application has its own bundle and there is a relating folder for each bundle. All the folders for UWP bundles are housed into a single folder and that is the WindowsApps folder.
If you have installed your Windows on Local Disk “C“, then WindowsApps folder will be in the Program Files folder on Local Disk C. i.e. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.

WindowsApps folder will be located in the program files folder.

This folder will be protected by permission, so not everyone will be able to access it without proper permission. So this is what happens when you try to access it without permission.
