Visual Studio - Registration of the app failed after uninstalling app

Question

I am developing a Universal Windows 10 app and I get an annoying problem every time I try to run project after I uninstall the app from windows start menu. The scenario is:

1. I run project on local machine - app is running good;

2. I press Shift+F5 to stop runing;

3. Go to Windows start menu and uninstall just installed app;

4. Run app again from Visual Studio;

5. Get error 1>Error : DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. An internal error occurred with error 0x80073D05. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues. (0x80073cf6)

NOTE: sometimes Clean Solution + Rebuild Solution helps, but sometimes only system restart solves the problem. Is this an official bug or I am missing something?

Answer 1

I was facing the similar problem, and as per this link

we need to locate the app`s package in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Packages and delete it. This error occurs when after installing if the system is not able to delete the complete package from Local.
