Cannot uninstall metro application (Microsoft.BingTravel)

Hi there, I have some issues when trying to use Microsoft Bing Travel. The app would not launch, and it would yield "This app can't open" and a "Repair" button. I had had multiple attempts of repairs, and things didn't get better. Therefore I'm trying to uninstall then reinstall the app, but there's no choices for uninstall as I right click on the app. The only option is to pin to start. I tried powershell and found something abnormal. The powershell yields this:

Name : Microsoft.BingTravel
Publisher : CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US
Architecture : X64
ResourceId :
Version : 3.0.4.309
PackageFullName : Microsoft.BingTravel_3.0.4.309_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
InstallLocation :
IsFramework : False
PackageFamilyName : Microsoft.BingTravel_8wekyb3d8bbwe
PublisherId : 8wekyb3d8bbwe
IsResourcePackage : False
IsBundle : False
IsDevelopmentMode : False
Dependencies : {Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00_12.0.21005.1_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe, Microsoft.WinJS.2.0_1.0.9600.17018_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe, Microsoft.BingTravel_3.0.4.309_neutral_split.language-ja_8wekyb3d8bbwe, Microsoft.BingTravel_3.0.4.309_neutral_split.language-zh-hans_8wekyb3d8bbwe...}

And when I tried to remove the app from the powershell it yields:

Remove-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered.
error 0x80070003: Reading manifest from location: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingTravel_3.0.4.309_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\\AppxManifest.xml failed with error: The system cannot find the path specified.
.
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 6e6e31bf-95bd-0000-8b94-6e6ebd95d001 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID 6e6e31bf-95bd-0000-8b94-6e6ebd95d001

After looking into the metro apps folder I found out that I only have these two folders for this app:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingTravel_3.0.4.318_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingTravel_2015.513.1927.4960_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Which shows the version of the app I have is 3.0.4.318 instead of 3.0.4.309.
I tried changing the folder name to 3.0.4.309 but the dependency is not satisfied.
There might me something wrong in the registry or somewhere. Anyone any ideas?
