    I received this from one of the Microsoft techs and it worked perfectly without having to delete the package data, which is not recommended.

    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.

    Try this before deleting any data.  :-)
