    I finally fixed my issue. It was because when I had purchased a game drive to extend my storage space, I didn't realize that the storage would cause this error since it was on it. I had to reformat it, in order to delete all of my applications on it, which kinda sucked. But I'm getting my stuff back now, so as a heads up to anyone who has this problem; If you have an extended storage device, and when you installed it, it started to ask if you wanted to download stuff, that data is still in the background of the driver. Thats what caused my issue the entire time.

    I just tried this, sorry for the late response.

    I still can't get it to work. Rebuilding the database didn't do anything, and the store is performing the glitch where it says, "Cannot find application. Want to find it in the store?" again. I'm honestly so lost as to what I could possibly do. I should probably also add that this started when I got my new hard-drive extension for my PS4. I noticed it came with a ton of other games installed that were free, but I didn't download any of them, and chose to delete the ones I wouldn't play. If you have anything else, I'll try it.

    Thank you in advance!

    -Edit: I just realized, the download bar in the Not-Installed section is no longer infinite, but at a standstill at around 85%. Kind of odd.
