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 have a theory if it was possible for us uses to reject rubbish apps from the store either from deleting from our history or via negative ratings both of which are not possible, the apps left with good ratings would be so few against Apple or Android's catalogue windows store would look pathetic. That's why its by design

    its so obvious.

    Hey,

    Just doing a recovery on my phone and it had the question:

    Do you want to install your previous apps?

    I said yes, now it installs everything from the app history. All the crappy and fake apps I disappointed and some useful. Not allowing the user to delete it's history was bad decision, making the backup using that without asking what to install was too.

    Disappointed Customer

    Didn't know that one. I switched my sim card over to android and I'm seriously considering whether to buy a laptop with windows 10. They should listen to peoples views or end up losing customers yet again. Something so simple as putting an option to delete app history and Microsoft can't be bothered to even consider looking into the issue which obviously so many people dislike.
