Uninstall Microsoft Store app?

Hello,

I downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 for programming with Unity. Now I wanted to download something additional and noticed that I didn't have enough space on the drive that was automatically selected. I couldn't change that, probably because the app was installed there. Now I wanted to uninstall it, but I couldn't find an uninstall button in the Microsoft Store, so I deleted the folder in Explorer. But it still says "installed" in the Microsoft Store, and that's why I can't download it again. I've also tried deleting the app via the settings, but that doesn't work either, because the folder isn't there. Can someone help?

To uninstall, I recommend the Revo Uninstaller tool. This allows you to uninstall programs completely. Download here: https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ The freeware version is enough.

therefore the folder in the Explorer deleted

This is the best way to compromise Windows. Simply delete any folders without uninstalling them…

It is generally not a good idea to uninstall the store. That would be a deep incision into the operating system. https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/troubleshoot/windows-client/shell-experience/cannot-remove-uninstall-or-reinstall-microsoft-store-app
