Hi Idharam,
Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community.
I understand that you want to remove uninstalled apps history in the "Your Apps" option from "Windows store". Correct me if I am wrong.
It is by design and it is not possible to remove the app history. It is used for your reference, the apps that you have uninstalled, so that you can install them in the future, if you require it.
I hope the above information helps you.
I find it useful information and also an annoying feature. Some apps manage getting installed in a sneaky way (HP Control Panel for example, but also some spyware, or apps that borrow famous names - how many instagram / facebook / youtube / vimeo crapps made by two guys instagram on the windows store?) and I would prefer having them not associated to my account in any way after I decide to remove them...
Seriously, Windows 8 is stupid.
For starters, its connected to your e-mail account
Then, the new "Metro Start?"
Windows 8 was designed for tablets/touchscreen PCs, but mine is not a touchscreen. Now What? All these gestures and shortcuts?
And, after all, Windows 8 is very vulnerable. I have had many viruses but not ones as bad as this. There is one called "Gorilla Price" and it keeps on popping up with all these weird offers.
Then, the MS Store is the worst. Once you click an app, it is ingrained in your email account. And then when you let someone else use it it goes blah blah blah and you have to let them use your account. And it then links back to those viruses. They are clever and they know how to install things. They installed a bad app and I can't get rid of it. Microsoft tell me that it isn't bad enough to be deleted.
So overall, Windows 8 I do not recommend at all!

Have you tried resetting the cache?
Go to the charms bar and search wsreset
click it and it will clear all the cache of the MS Store
You got it they wont listen and mess with stuff that is working fine the way it is why? Yes you can still can use the desktop and all but the new interface just make it harder! I I wanted to talk on the phone I would but when I am using my computer that is what I want to do! So why they mess it up? Windows was working great, and they just made it harder. Don't get me wrong some of the new apps (programs, why the change the name?) are cute, but really not needed when your trying to work on stuff. Oh well as always it is their way or noting!
Why do people keep on acting as if Windows 8 is exclusively Modern UI. That the only way to get a desktop is to use Windows 7. Hello there is a desktop option, you can run all of your Desktop Apps from there. Have you even tried Windows 8? I have been running Windows 8 for the past couple of years now and I'm NOT forced to use the Modern UI. The only thing missing is the Start Menu and just because that is missing doesn't mean there is no desktop option. Does not mean that things that can run in Windows 7 can't run in Windows 8, they can.
