You can use Archive apps to save space and internet bandwidth on Windows 11, and here's how to use it.
On Windows 11, Archive apps is a feature that has been designed to manage your apps automatically to save space and bandwidth. The feature works by archiving supported Microsoft Store apps that you don't frequently use. It uses a process that uninstalls the app from the computer without completely removing it from the system. As a result, the app will no longer occupy space on the hard drive, nor will its services connect to use internet bandwidth.
