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.

    Perhaps the best option is ability to 'hide' the unused apps ..

    This keeps them on file, but out of your main list....

    My bet is that Microsoft keeps them on file so they don’t need to deal with the hassle of accidental deletions by users... On paid apps this could be a massive support annoyance ... And it would be a pain to separate paid vs unpaid.... Of course my bet is people would complain if they lost a list of free apps as well

    Regardless.... Adding a Boolean var to their db to allow for sorting per user needs would solve everyone's problem...

    Just an idea.....

    thanks, is good advice.

    Go to Start, Scroll down till you see the app. Then right click on it and select uninstall. if it does not show then that app can not be removed with out going into restore to reset to a previous time...

    Okay thanks so much that helps but I think when I asked Cortana that it looked like there were responses leading me to think I could delete history. So my next question is does that take up any memory usage? ? ? Is it taking up space in my phone storage? My phone keeps popping up telling me to delete some files or apps and I'm wondering if this is why??

    So does this take up memory on my phone? Does it cause phone to keep telling me to delete files or apps due to the phone memory storage is full? Also I don't yet have a memory card in my phone so I wanted to be sure that the uninstalled apps wasn't the reason? This is my first smartphone and I have had it for over a year now so this was new to me when I couldn't figure out how to delete or dispose of them!
