CCleaner now lets you uninstall Windows Store apps

CCleaner now lets you uninstall Windows Store apps, so you can now delete some of those annoying stock Windows 10 apps.



Read more on CCleaner's ability to delete Windows Apps.

OH SNAP! But seriously, it could be handy on computers with older hardware regain a little more responsiveness if some are constantly running in the background so that is awesome of Piriform.

If you've never heard of Piriform folks? I highly recommend your check out their stuff... CCleaner even used to be called Crap Cleaner but I think he took out the first word to make it sound a little less intense.

I also love speccy by Piriform. It's great for helping people figure out what their hardware specs are if they have no idea and it has such a small footprint.

Recuva is a deleted file recovery system that can work at times. Of course, for free you can't expect it to work as good as the ridiculously expensive ones.

Deraggler has lost a bit of momentum though ever since Windows 7 when Microsoft seriously revamped the defragmentation program that is bundled with Windows. I used to always use Defraggler back in the Windows XP and Vista days though.

Will have to update it then, and thanks for mention the deraggler, does it take as long as the xp defragger?

The main thing I loved about Defraggler in the XP days was it scaled very well depending on CPU usage, so it could even be used while playing games with only slight hiccups at the most... unlike the stock XP defrag program that would sap all your CPU away from your games and you off. I think it was faster than the stock defrag program. I remember Diskepper was another good one but did nag you to buy the full version... but dang was it faster than stock.

Defraggler is 100% free just like anything from Piriform were it only asks if you want a paid version for customer service or business use plus a few bonus automated functions.

Defraggler takes ages and doesn't do such a good job, if anything; my HDD access / load speeds were worse. >.>

If you want a friendly UI and one that does the job very well and without taking 1 week (I am not kidding) download Smart Defrag. You can download it here at their home page: http://www.iobit.com/en/iobitsmartdefrag.php

*Edit*

It's also free.

Just updated, indeed works! GUI looks more inline with W10 now too, small but nice changes

I uninstalled all windows apps with a single powershell command (except edge and feedback), but very nice cc let's you do it too now.

I wonder uninstalling the Apps would work on Windows 8.1 or is it only a Windows 10 thing.

Not sure. In W10 you can't remove things like Weather, Mail, etc when you first install it. CCleaner now just lets you do that, so in W8.1 you'd have to try for yourself if you couldn't already do it manually.
