PC Settings and Store icons?

Using Windows 8 for the first time. Noticed that on the root level of program icons after installing Start 8 it has a "PC settings", and "Store" icon. I first deleted these and it seemed to mess up my system that I could not access PC settings from the Windows 8 Menu Screen. Are these required to stay here, or can I hide them? What is recommended so they don't appear under Programs when I use Start 8 ? Thanks.

Those are the shortcuts Microsoft uses to access both of those from their menu. It is therefore unwise to delete them.

We can see about adding them into the list of excluded items when you disable showing Modern UI applications in the Start8 menu for the next update.
