Windows Store App Error

Question
-
Hi,
I have been stuck with an Windows Store App error which I have been spending countless hours trying to fix, but to no avail. I strongly believe that the problem lies with some "registry" record that is inside my Windows 8 machine, which I really, really don't know how to remove it. The "right click + uninstall" method is badly executed, I assume.
To put it simply, I list two scenarios with regards to the issue.
Scenario 1: I am trying to download my own App in the Windows Store.
I receive the following error,
"Something happened and this app couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code: 0x80070057"
I am thus unable to installed the app. I believe that I need to run something to remove a record of the App from my machine, but I don't know how (and couldn't find a solution).
I attempted the following solution but failed to resolve the problem:

Scenario 2: Unable to run source code on local machine
Yes, you are right. I am unable to run my own source code of the App from my own machine. It's the same machine that developed the App.
After cleaning and rebuilding the codes with a "Build succeeded", I tried to run it and here is the error message I received,
"Unable to update the package manifest. An unexpected error occurred. (HRESULT: 0x80070057)"
"The debugger was unable to find the registration for the target application. If the problem persists, try uninstalling and then reinstalling this application."
Please advise on how I could resolve this issue.
All help will be greatly and sincerely appreciated with many thanks.
