Apps and Programs are not the same. An App is a program that runs on the UWP platform. As such, it is also installed in a different way and behaves similarly as to how apps work on your phone.

Its files are stored in a location that is not accessible to a user, and as such you need to remove it using its designed uninstall button.

If an App does not work correctly, you can also reinstall or clear its cache the same way you can fix problems on a phone, except... this is build specifically for Windows 8 and up.

Right-click the start button and press Apps and Features (the first item in the list) to bring you to all your installed Apps and Programs. The app you want to uninstall will be in this list. Search for it, and click the uninstall button to remove it from the computer.

Do note, this is not the same as the Control Panel, Programs and Features.
