How do I Uninstall "Files" (alternative to Files Explorer) by Yair?
FYI:
Do not find it in Control Panel Programs, in MS Store Library, etc.
The only file i've found is FILES-STABLE.exe in C:\Users\-user-\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps.
I right click that file, select Run as Administer but nothing happens.

Click to expand...

- You will not find UWP apps in Control Panel.
- MS store does not let you uninstall from it.
