I downloaded the Windows Phone App on a Windows 7 computer to sync music and stuff, and used it without a problem, but I thought i wasn't going to use it again so i deleted it. When i deleted it however, i didn't uninstall it the way I should have using the control panel, I just moved the app to recycle bin and emptied the recycle bin. After realizing I needed the app again, I tried re installing the app, but it said "Application has already been installed on this device." So i tried uninstalling the files the correct way using the control panel, but it came up with an error message and basically said i didn't have access to the app. What should I do now? I need this app, but can't get it reinstalled until i completely remove it from my computer. (the app doesn't show up in program files, but it does show up in the programs list on control panel)
