Please see https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting. If Discover is hanging or crashing, we need a backtrace. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

It's impossible to uninstall things from kde store.
I have just tried to uninstall adapta kde theme and some widgets (event calendar, present windows button). Uninstall process hangs (adapta theme) or discover pretends to uninstall correctly but the widget remains on the system.

I forgot to say: Discover 5.14 beta on Arch Linux.
