Description

## Prerequisites
- [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

## Describe the bug
The Music app is not installed on my computer according to AppCenter and yet it is displayed in the Applications Menu. So, when I click uninstall, it results in an error (see screenshots). Also, the AppCenter sometimes shows the app is indeed installed (even though it's not) so when I click the uninstall button there, the same error occurs. Other times, the AppCenter says the app is not installed.

### To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to Music on Applications Menu or AppCenter
2. Click on Uninstall
3. See error

I don't have any similar apps that are both shown on the applications menu and not installed except for this Music app so I'm not sure if it's the app that's causing the issue or the menu or the AppCenter.

### Expected behavior
The app shouldn't even be shown in the Applications Menu to begin with since AppCenter says it is not installed. There is a discrepancy between the app status in AppCenter and the Applications Menu.

## Platform Information

If you can't please share:
