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.

    Wow! What a sad answer. The design is the "problem" you should be able to delete app history from the store. A lot of the ones I deleted are ones I did not like and will never re-install. I understand why Microsoft would/may want the info for marketing and such, but I do not want to see it. Nor will I ever re-install unwanted apps. so I should be able to delete the ones that are not wanted to make it a good list ( history of apps) if I ever need to re-install the apps I am using now and want. Thanks for trying anyways!

    Your correct but it looks like people including myself wish to remove the **it apps from our "Your Apps" I have getting close too 1000 apps I only have about 20 to 25 on my phone so how is app history  good for referencing 25 out of 1000+

    I agree to. We need the option to be able to take an app off our history page if we plan to never use it again. It's really annoying to have a bunch of apps sitting in my history that I know that I will never reinstall or use again because I didn't like an app. Please change this Microsoft. Think about what your customers want and give us this option.

    Hello there??????

    I perfectly realise that, I am a computer geek!!

    I would be able to tell Windows 8 from Windows 7 easily.

    I think that Microsoft are too proud to admit their mistake so they just tell you nonsense.

    Of course you can easily tell Windows 8 from Windows 7!

    If you think I am 3 years old, then you would convince me.

    But you don't.
