Hi,

On my computer, AppData\Local\Packages folder is taking a lot of space.

What files/folders can be deleted from this folder and what is the impact?

Thanks

Anil

Hello Anil,

The files in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages folder store the user configuration settings for all of the installed Modern UI Apps.

These apps use a completely different programming model than the traditional Desktop (Win32) apps.
It is not recommended to delete the folder.

If you are just trying to clear the Windows Store Cache, there is a built-in component to accomplish this.
1. Press the WinKey+Q to display the Search and type WSRESET.
2. In the Results, click wsreset to reset the Store Cache.
3. The Windows Store will open and confirm that the cache has been cleared.

Best regards,
Fangzhou CHNE
