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.

    Currently on 892 apps and 99% of them are ****, this needs to be fixed and agree windows 10 is a perfect time to remove the old system as it just dose not work...

    I use around 10 apps on my phone not 892... so my apps are now used the same way as my email junk folder, I ignore it...

    With Windows 10 in the works it might me time to consider a redesign of the Windows store to be more convenient for the users. Many people, and I'm sure businesses, download a variety of apps attempting to find the app that performs the needed task well. In doing so the end up having a Large number of similar apps that do nearly the same thing which they have uninstalled but are still listed in the "my apps" screen forcing them to begin the search again on a new device.  Please RE-EVALUATE the functionality of the store Before the release of Windows 10

    That is still not a suitable answer. The phone is still trying to update the applications even though I've uninstalled them.

    Which leads me to beleive they aren't actually uninstalled and are still taking up space and sending my personal data to the app developer without my knowledge.

    I want to COMPLETELY REMOVE the applications.

    yes I've turned it on and off again, I uninstalled them over 8 months ago yet they still show up as needing updates every month when a new update is pushed out.

    The only way to clear the message is to download the update and install it (updating an app which I have supposedly UNINSTALLED.

    I want to COMPLETELY REMOVE the applications.  In lieu of Microsoft providing this requested functionality, the Windows Store updates need to at least acknowledge that the Apps have been uninstalled and stop sending me updates for them.
