Deleted Window Movie Player and tried to reinstall-says it is already downloaded?

My WMP was crashing every time I performed an action on it, so I opened up the file location and deleted it completely. Shortly after, I remembered that I should uninstall it from the programs list, but when I clicked it, WMP and windows essentials were not there. 
Afterwards, when I tried to download windows essentials again, it says that all of the programs are already on my computer! It's not letting me download it again at all and this is really annoying for me because I want to use WMP
Any help with this? I have Windows 8.1
