(Archived) How to remove the Windows 8 Metro App?

I have a laptop with Windows 8 and I use the desktop version of Evernote. But the Metro App is also installed. Does anyone know how I can remove the Metro App only?

Well the Evernote metro app doesn't uninstall. It only removes itself from the 'Start' screen.

 

When I hit the Windows button and type in 'Ever' (to start Evernote) I can still choose from two applications:

- Evernote (the Metro version)

- Evernote (the desktop version)

 

And it happens too much that I start the wrong one

 

And apparently the Evernote Metro Application is still working on the background.

Weird.  My W8 setup only has one 'Evernote' now.  If you can locate the right version you can put a shortcut to it on your 'start' screen and your desktop for ease of access..

Simple:

 

1 - From the metro start screen - hold your finger over the Evernote icon

2 - A contextual menu will appear from the bottom with options - unpin from start/uninstall/resize

3 - Select uninstall.

I use a Win 8 laptop with a touchpad / no touchscreen.  Right click on the tiles does the same trick.
