Solution
These steps need to be followed during off production hours and please take a snapshot of the storefront server and backup of web.config file before making any changes.Steps:
- Go to this location on your storefront server: C:inetpubwwwrootCitrixRoamingWeb.config
- Open the web.config file using Notepad++ (this will make it easy to replicate the changes)
- Search for the stale store entry in the file and remove all.
- Once we have removed all the entries for the third stale store, run iisreset and test if you are still seeing the third store on workspace app.
- Also validate from your storefront server by opening the browser and hitting this url: https://storefrontserverFQDN/Citrix/Roaming/accounts , this will ask you to open/save an XML file and in this you need to validate that no entries for that removed store are present.
6. If you run into any issues with storefront after the above change, we can revert back to previous web.config file and run iisreset to get it to previous state.

Understanding Keyboard Input To Virtual Desktops
By default, when you use a virtual desktop all key presses are directed to it (not the local computer) with the following exceptions: Clear ram xp.
Note: By default, if the Desktop Viewer is maximized, ALT+TAB switches focus between windows inside the session. If the Desktop Viewer is displayed in a window, ALT+TAB switches focus between windows outside the session.
Hotkey sequences are key combinations designed by Citrix. For example, the CTRL+F1 sequence reproduces CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and SHIFT+F2 switches applications between full-screen and windowed mode. You can use hotkey sequences with virtual desktops in many, but not all, setups. For example, they work with your hosted applications.
