Windows 10: Spotify app cannot be uninstalled or installed after changing the hard disk.

I recently changed the hardware in my PC, including the hard disk. Since then, the Spotify app icon has disappeared and the app cannot be uninstalled or installed.It is listed in the installed apps but when uninstalling 0x80073cfa is thrown.I have already tried:1. calling wsreset.exe - no effect2. uninstalling the app via Powershell with the command "Remove-AppxPackage -Package SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic_1.195.893.0_x86__zpdnekdrzrea0" - error "HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, error during removal. [...]"3. check in the registry via key for the application under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\

Spotify

I have just discovered two Spotify entries in the StartUp list in Task Manager.
However there is no trace of Spotify elsewhere in the system.
I went through the registry and deleted every reference to Spotify that could find, although some refused to be deleted.
That made no difference.
The store shows that Spotify is installed. Which is strange.
However I found an entry in the Apps list in Start Menu, clicked uninstall and that cleared the problem.

 

Can't uninstall Spotify

Hi!

I downloaded the troubleshooter and ran it. Had to choose a program to uninstall from a list. Spotify was not in that list. There was a program that wasn't displayed with it's proper name in the list (Name not availible). I choosed that program to continue.
Next I had two choises, try to uninstall the program or continue with others solutions. Since the list in the troubleshooter doesn't match the list of programs to uninstall in control panel/Settings-Apps-Uninstall I couldn't be sure what program it was I instructed
the troubleshooter to uninstall so I tried to continue with other solutions. Then the troubleshooter ended with no problems found. The flow and end result is the same regardless if I choose to troubleshoot uninstall or install problems.

EDIT:

I now checked Settings-Apps-Uninstall one more time and now Spotify was there! I uninstalled it, And after the uninstall it's not listed in Autostart in Task Manager. Great result! All that's left now as far as I can see is the two empty folders and a small
10 kb file:

 

Spotify installation

I tried to uninstall the app, but when I went on the start list to uninstall it, it didn't appear. I tried going via the app store, but it isn't in my apps, and when I go on the actual Spotify page on the app store, it doesn't let me install or uninstall
it. It just gives me the option to 'view', but when I click on view, it just takes me to the start list. It only happens for this app, none of the others.
