I've seen this suggested before but whenever I've tried it, it has not worked for me the way it is being described.  I have found no way to remove a channel app from within the Channel Store.

When I locate the channel of interest it has a checkmark superimposed on it to show I have it installed to my account.   But when I highlight the channel and press the OK button I get no option to remove the channel, I only am given the option to Open the app.
