Removing a failed Microsoft Store installation

1

When I try to deploy and debug my UWP application from Visual Studio 2017 I get the error:

DEP0900: Failed to unregister application "Microsoft.ProjectTorino_1.1.1.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe". [0x80073CFA] Deployment Remove operation with target volume C: on Package Microsoft.ProjectTorino_1.1.1.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe from: failed with error 0x80070490.

I think this is because there is an existing deployment of the same app on my PC from the Microsoft Store. But that deployment failed and so there's nothing I can uninstall.

How do I get rid of a failed installation from the store so that I can deploy from Visual Studio?
