How can I rename an already published app in the Windows Dev Center?

I have an app that I have published to the Windows Store through the Windows Dev Center. I now want to rename that app. I have already followed the steps at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh694077.aspx with no success. Things I have tried include:

However, the old name remains displayed without the ability to remove the old reserved name.

I've tried asking this on the Windows Dev Center forums, but that place seems extremely dead.

The original link in the question is dead, but I found this link while searching. This works for renaming the app when it is installed and running on your computer, but it does not rename the app in the Windows Store.

Eventually I discovered these instructions for renaming the app in the Windows Store by updating the "app Store listing." On the Submission page for the app in the Microsoft Partner Center, you have to click the language under Store listings. From here you can change which of your reserved names is used as the app name in the Store.

You're doing the right things. It can take a few days for a name change to propagate. If it still hasn't changed after 48 hours then please contact support at http://aka.ms/storesupport so somebody can check out your account.
