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 hate clutter. I delete history and many of the apps I've installed were cheap knockoffs that I'd never reinstall or use. Just seeing them on the search results annoys me.

    Dear Anh

    This discussion has had contributions from many unhappy Windows users who have the same problem. Windows has gone the way of **** apps with advertising like Google/Android. They allow developers to build tracking code into their apps that tracks who is using their apps.

    As an immediate fix, make sure you have the apps you want installed on your phone. Then create a new windows account, and delete the old account. Then stop using the Windows Store.

    You will likely need the new account to service your phone and update the apps you like, but please make sure it is protected against advertising cookies and trojans etc. I have no experience with Microsoft phones. I love Windows.

    Make sure you tighten up security and privacy on your phone. Read what you can on tech sites about making your Windows phone safer.

    Hope this helps.

    I just got my first Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 1520). And i found that Windows 8.1 has nothing bettter than Android and iOS.

    The Windows Apps Store have not much quality apps, most of them are scraps. I keep trying a lots of apps to find the one i like (not the best one, but at least acceptable). I hate apps that has no option to remove ads (normaly pay for .99$)

    Some little thing like unable to remove/hide "my app" history, and no customize  for contact photo (Not photo from facebook profile i want) with Outlook is a minus compare to the microsoft's competitors. They are not really big problem, but they can give users a great experience to use Windows phone.
