Location of AppXPackage Data?
0
Where is the data used by the PS cmdlets like "Get-AppXPackage" stored physically? I know each package has a manifest, but there must be a index of all packages.

I'm not really 100% sure what you're after. The main default AppX locations that I am aware of areC:Program FilesWindowsApps,C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalPackagesandHKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionappx.Get-AppXPackage -AllUserswill return a full list of all appx packages installed and their current status for each user (requires admin privileges)

I have been trying to use Remove-AppxPackage to delete an app under team development (that was locally deployed by a user that is no longer on the project), with no success. It remains in the results from Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers and blocks the attempts to deploy by the other team members. Hence I am trying to manually delete the pointer to the actual app package which Get-AppxPackage uses to produce the full list.

When you runGet-AppxPackage -AllUsersdoes the application show asInstalledorStagedfor users that no longer have profiles or accounts on the workstation? If so, the only way I have found to remove these is to remove the WMI Objects left behind for that account - RunGet-WMIObject -Class Win32_UserProfileto confirm whether that user shows, if soGet-WMIObject -Class Win32_UserProfile | ? { $_.SID -eq "S-1-5.." } | Remove-WMIObjectadding the relevant SID in place ofS-1-5..

If you are on a newer build of W10, you also have the-Userand-AllUsersparameter onRemove-AppXPackage. I forget which build this was introduce in.

IsPartiallyStaged is False however there is no InstallLocation specified. I successfully removed the WMIObject for the user, but that didn't impact my ability to remove the AppxPackage using Remove-AppxPackage specifying the "-user" parameter. I receive either a "security ID structure" error or a "user was logged off" error.
