How to remove a certificate from the application certificate store?

Question

I have a universal Windows Store / Phone application that will store certificates. I have no problem uploading certificates to the CertificateStore application and using them. But when it comes to removing them, I have a problem.

For example, the following code is great for finding my certificate in a Windows Store environment:

async Task<Certificate> FindMyCert()
{
    var query = new CertificateQuery();
    query.FriendlyName = "mytestcert";
    var certificates = await CertificateStores.FindAllAsync(query);

    if (certificates.Count != 1)
    {
        return null;
    }
    return certificates[0];
}

Now, let's say I want to remove this certificate from the store. The only "Delete" that I know of is in the CertificateStore object. Therefore, I need to get the certificate store, and then do the deletion:

var s = CertificateStores.GetStoreByName("MY");
if (s != null)
    s.Delete(c);
Assert.IsNull(await FindMyCert());

There is only one problem. If you look at the documentation for GetStoreName 1 , it says that the name of the certificate store cannot be "MY".
