Cant get rid off JumpTask item

Question

I was just playing around with a JumpList in WPA app. I have added this code to my App.xaml:

<JumpList.JumpList>
    <JumpList ShowRecentCategory="False" ShowFrequentCategory="False">

        <JumpTask Title="New Note" Description="Create new note"
                  Arguments="/new" CustomCategory="Actions"/>
    </JumpList>  
</JumpList.JumpList>

Then i decided not to include that functionality in my app, so i removed those lines of code, but the item is still on the JumpList when i right click the taskbar icon.

I found solution that points to delete files from %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\, but it didn't help.

Cleaning or rebuilding project didn't help.

Have you tried leaving the `` empty and running your application? — Richard Deeming, Dec 19 '16 at 19:52

As discussed in the comments, you need to leave an empty <JumpList> in your application and run it once. You should then be able to remove the <JumpList> from your markup completely if required.

If the <JumpList> element isn't present, the code to update the jump list never executes, and Windows continues to use the previous jump list.

this works absolutely right for me!! jumpList.JumpItems.Clear(); jumpList.JumpItems.Add(new JumpTask()); JumpList.SetJumpList(App.Current, jumpList); – J. Hasan Jul 02 '17 at 11:13
