Windows 10: Uninstalled Minecraft but it still shows up in Windows Search

Hello, as the title says, I've uninstalled Minecraft but it still shows up in Windows Search. If I click on it nothing happens and it also doesn't show the usual buttons other than "Open" (Open doesn't do anything either).





Here are the pictures showing that it is uninstalled:







I've seen other posts like this one, but with other apps or multiple "ghost apps" in Windows Search. Reinstalling Minecraft doesn't fix the issue, it shows Minecraft Launcher as a separate result in search, and after uninstalling, it still doesn't go away.

EDIT: This also happens with Epic Games Launcher, it's uninstalled and nothing happens when I click on it.

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

 

Remove uninstalled apps that show up on Windows Search


So, I installed Classic Shell. The unwanted/uninstalled apps do not show up under the All Programs list, nor do they show up when searching by their name.

Exiting back to the regular Start Menu shows the same erratic behaviour.

Warning:
