How to uninstall an app the MS store says is installed but is not installed?

Hi. I had a game app installed from the MS store called "Warzone 2011" that worked wonderfully until I downloaded and installed the Windows 11 upgrade a couple days ago. After installation, I noticed there was no shortcut icon for the game, to play the game.

So, I went back to the MS store to download the game again, thinking the update must have deleted it, but the store said the game was owned and installed already. I looked at the installed list of apps on the computer but the game app was not listed as being installed.

So, I searched the computer for the Warzone files, and found the file in the oldWindows file. I deleted the game app file, but that did not work because the MS store still says the game is installed. But again, it is not listed in the app list of installed apps on the computer.

I have searched my computer for more Warzone files and could not find any more.

So, how do I uninstall an app that is not installed in my computer?

Thanks for your help!

I suggest that you perform the steps mentioned below and check if the issue occurs.



Step 1: Run App Troubleshooter.

• Type “Troubleshooting” in the search box and press Enter.
• Click on ‘View All’ on the top left pane.
• Click on “Windows Store Apps” from the list and follow the on-screen prompts for troubleshooting.

Step 2:

If the issue persist, I would suggest that you un-install and re-install the app from Windows Store.



Note: Exit store when trying to re-install the app.
