To save disk-space on my C drive (and because I couldn't find an Uninstall function in the Windows Store app), I deleted some apps I never use, from:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps
However, now when I try to update apps that I do use, such as:
Mail, Calendar, People and Messaging
I receive a 0x80246007
error.
I have tried running this batch script (as admin), but it had no affect:
net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
WSReset
I also tried using the freeware 'Recuva' application to recover lost files that were Shift-Deleted in that folder; but it gave me ~35,000 files, and wouldn't automatically put them in their respective folders.
What do I need to do in order to get the Windows 8 apps I want, working and updateable?
The following command (unlike sfc /scannow
) fixed my Store, allowing me to right-click 'Mail' and uninstall that whole suite, then reinstallation got it all working properly =)
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
