Hi does anyone know if apps and games removed from the store are no longer available to download once you delete them?
 
If they have been removed from store, as far as I have been able to find, they are gone. My solution has been to install older less frequent played games on a smaller ext HDD not always hooked up, as an insurance policy.
I am cheap, lol, and salvage drives from laptops all the time.

So once an app is removed from the store it is deleted forever?

Yes. If a game is removed is probably because of licensing issues so M$ doesn't have anymore the rights to make it available for you even if you already paid for it or you have a code to redeem. If you have a code and you never downloaded that game maybe you can ask for a refund.

Ok by that I don't mean not being able to buy the game or app, I mean the game or app not being able to be redowloaded once deleted
 
No, once you delete the game from your console, and it has been removed from the store, AFIK there is no way to retrieve it again.
 
I can only speak for Sony, but if you buy a Game / DLC / whatever, you will always be able to redownload it from your Downloadlist.
Only in cenarios where free content gets removed from the store, there is a chance it will also be removed from your Downloadlist, like it happened for P.T.

I'd be surprised if M$ handles this differently for paid content.
