    I uninstalled apps from MC Store but they showing in start menu


    So I uninstalled apps from Microsoft Store but they showing in start menu i find them when i use search but there is no official icon - so after that i did 2nd account and trying delete them and they deleted normally but my alt account when i trying delete them they are deleted (i know because when i pin them they are grey box) but i can click again uninstall program but it not doing anything,

    is there any fix? or do i need to link my alt account to 2nd account which is bit annoying because all my games.. settings.. + need to install some things again and etc. hopefully i can do something,

    Hi, this question has been asked previously and on the internet, an irritating scenario.

    Please start by reviewing:
    StartMenu has entries for UNinstalled apps -- how to rebuild/refresh?

    and advise the outcome of each option.

    If no luck, try a more technical approach:
    Removing Windows Apps sometimes leaves orphan "icons" in the startmenu

    Hi thanks for that but i solved it: log out in store and manually installed these apps what i wanted delete and after that i uninstalled normally and its worked now im fine, i think app needed update new version bc when i did that (logos were different then before that)

    Thanx @Makezu for this workaround - please mark this thread as solved.

    So you installed the Store app without being logged in? - did it just say you owned the app and let you re-install?

    Hmm. can't remember maybe no (its not saying that you own that) I think it was normal installation process without log in store but i don't know why i needed log out and install app again but icons was different and iT was weird..

    only problem is now i search app normally it shows it but it has no icon or it has but it is some normal grey icon what ever if i can fix that with that solution what this one guy said and linked to me.

    I'm just thinking through the process - you need to be logged in to download the app, but after that it registers as your app after installing etc. I assume re-installing does not need the whole process again as it is already assigned a GUID - that it's still there even without a proper icon whatever means it's still has remnants.
