Windows 10: Candy Crush Saga - Microsoft Store - Purchased minutes ago

I never bought Candy Crush Saga. I am not sure whether it came preinstalled on this laptop, however I do not remember ever playing it or installing or even uninstalling it. It shows up as "purchased minutes ago" in "my library" in microsoft store and gives me an option to install it. Since I never purchased this app, I would like to have it removed from "my library". If you feel otherwise, show me the receipt. I do not wish to hide or unhide it, as it is not installed on my laptop. Kindly just remove it from "my library", otherwise each time when I open Microsoft store, I just feel like uninstalling the store itself.

Candy Crush Saga - Microsoft Store - Purchased minutes ago

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that Candy Crush Saga shows as Purchased minutes ago in Store Library. We would like to inform that Microsoft Store adds all the installed apps to the Owned list that is the reason you might be seeing Purchased minutes ago for Candy Crush
saga. The Owned list helps in finding the previously installed apps, and in case you wish to install any previously installed app, you can do that through Owned list.



However, you can hide the app from the Store library. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Microsoft Store, click on the
   Ellipsis (…).
   
2. Select My Library.
   
3. Under My Library, click on the
   Ellipsis (…) for Candy Crush Saga and select Hide.

Candy Crush Saga - Microsoft Store - Purchased minutes ago

So, like a lot of people - I uninstall Candy Crush Saga every time I install Windows 10 - or I'm thinking maybe Microsoft stopped installing Candy Crush Saga in the latest Windows 10 builds (I'm not sure)...

Anyway, I was looking at my Windows 10 Store library recently and it said:

Candy Crush Saga - Purchased minutes ago

Obviously I hadn't purchased Candy Crush Saga.

Why is "Candy Crush Saga - Purchased minutes ago" in my Store Library - and, how do I get rid of it?

Thanks

 

Remove Candy Crush Saga

Greetings,

When I opened the Start menu, I noticed at the top there was "Candy Crush Saga" listed under "Recently Added" section. When I opened the Microsoft Store app, it says it was "purchased minutes ago", even though I haven't purchased or downloaded it.

How can I delete this? Also, how can I prevent games from automatically being downloaded?

Thanks,

Shane.
