Windows 10: Remove corrupted entries from the installed Apps list

I had an external hard drive I had used as the install location for several applications. The hard drive failed. The apps appear in the installed apps list but have no associated uninstaller. I am unable to remove or uninstall these apps. I've tried IObit Uninstaller, but it does not see these ghost apps.I tried the Windows troubleshooter with no success. It seems to have identified some of the apps but could not uninstall them.Please help me find a solution that will not only remove the apps from the list, but will help fix any issues and/or remove all app files for each ghost app.Thank you.

Marketplace apps creating weird entries in "Remove Programs" list.

I'm also seeing these strange entries in the Remove Programs list. However, I'm also seeing in "My applications" in Marketplace that

- most of my apps are still listed in "ready to install", even though I have installed (and used) them
- only a few of my apps are listed in the "Remove an app" page.

I suspect this latter behavior is related to the strange names appearing in the Setting->Remove Progam list.

FWIW - I am using the Win Mo 6.5 upgrade for the HTC TP2 that was released yesterday.

Removing duplicate app entries from the default files list

Hi Roger,

There's a possibility that Firefox isn't uninstalled completely on your computer. We suggest that you uninstall it in the
Settings app by following these steps:

• On Start, select that cog icon or Settings.
• Go to Apps and select the program that you want to uninstall.
• Select Uninstall and follow the instructions on the screen.

This will completely remove Firefox from your system and from the Default Apps list. You can also check and save this article that in case you need a guide to

repair or remove programs in Windows 10.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further.

Removing duplicate app entries from the default files list

I removed a program (Firefox) from my system, but when I go to Default Apps and click on the default (now Chrome) browser, Firefox remains in the options list even though I just uninstalled it. I uninstalled Firefox because I was getting multiple entries
for it in the Default Apps list, and intended to remove the remaining duplicate entry. How do I do that?
