Remarks
You can use this method to free up disk space by uninstalling DLC packages that are no longer needed. For example, a game that offers both a single player campaign and a multiplayer campaign might use this method to uninstall the single player campaign at the user's request, after the user has completed that campaign.
When you call this method, the OS displays a dialog that asks the user's permission to uninstall the app package. To silently uninstall an app package without displaying a notification dialog, use UninstallStorePackageAsync or UninstallStorePackageByStoreIdAsync (these methods require access to a restricted capability).
The Store ID for a an add-on is available in Partner Center, and it also is returned by the StoreId property of the StoreProduct that represents the add-on. For more information, see Store IDs.
Note
DLC packages are not available to all developer accounts.
