Cannot delete Microsoft-bloatware windowsapps

Hello,


I have a SSD, running Windows 10 latest updates and my disk space is limited. I have been trying to delete files from the program files\windowsapps for at least 3 hours but it simply does not work. There are about a dozen threads of users who had the same problem and most recommend to change the user rights, e.g. this one:

https://www.maketecheasier.com/access-windowsapps-folder-windows-10/ [this is not on official microsoft site... be warned... etc...]


However, I cannot reproduce any of their solutions. Using the explorer in administrator mode, I was still able to start executing the change, but it always fails on some container and tells me that the whole process has failed. So, apparently, Microsoft has changed something about this. This leaves my issue, sadly, unsolved.


On a side note: I know this is a public forum so I will abstain from any negative thoughts about the developers who blessed the community with their decision to grant every windows user 6 GB of unremovable bloatware. Please accept my sincere thanks if you should read this message, I have never been happier.
