To be fair, there isn’t an example from the Windows store specifically, because the vast, vast majority of Windows programs are installed via standalone installation packages.
But yes, there was one instance where uninstalling a game would recursively delete the parent directory, up to and including potentially deleting the entire C:\ drive.
Funnily enough, a similar thing happened with Steam as well in the past - though as long as you weren’t running Steam as root it couldn’t delete the whole filesystem, just any files owned by yourself (which is also still incredibly destructive, don’t get me wrong).
