## Guide: Removing entries of apps that do not exist
### Preface:
##### Sometimes, switching from a WSA Build with Amazon Appstore to a build with "Removed Amazon Appstore" or a build with "MindTheGapps" to a build with "No-Gapps" etc., the system apps that were installed (either Google Play Store and related apps and/or the Amazon Appstore) from the previous build may still show up in the WSA Settings's "Apps" section. This guide goes through a method by which you can remove these entries from the WSA Settings's "Apps" section.
### Example:

## Steps:
#### 1. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) as Administrator
#### 2. Navigate to `Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall`
#### 3. You will find all the entries from WSA apps here. Search for the app you want to remove from the WSA Settings's "Apps" section.
#### 4. Once you find the entry, delete it.
#### 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all the apps you want to remove from the WSA Settings's "Apps" section.
#### 6. Restart your PC.
#### 7. The apps you deleted the entries of should no longer show up in the WSA Settings's "Apps" section.
