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 find it useful information and also an annoying feature. Some apps manage getting installed in a sneaky way (HP Control Panel for example, but also some spyware, or apps that borrow famous names - how many instagram / facebook / youtube / vimeo crapps made by two guys instagram on the windows store?) and I would prefer having them not associated to my account in any way after I decide to remove them...

    Seriously, Windows 8 is stupid.

    For starters, its connected to your e-mail account

    Then, the new "Metro Start?"

    Windows 8 was designed for tablets/touchscreen PCs, but mine is not a touchscreen. Now What? All these gestures and shortcuts?

    And, after all, Windows 8 is very vulnerable. I have had many viruses but not ones as bad as this. There is one called "Gorilla Price" and it keeps on popping up with all these weird offers.

    Then, the MS Store is the worst. Once you click an app, it is ingrained in your email account. And then when you let someone else use it it goes blah blah blah and you have to let them use your account. And it then links back to those viruses. They are clever and they know how to install things. They installed a bad app and I can't get rid of it. Microsoft tell me that it isn't bad enough to be deleted.

    So overall, Windows 8 I do not recommend at all!

    I totally agree!

    I have one of the best antivirus systems, Norton 360, and my computer has all these viruses and messages. Thankfully, I know how to get rid of them, but what is going on?????????

    Thanks but I did try this, and it did no good. All the apps installed and not are still on the list.

    Let me point out something that you perhaps don't realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the Modern/Metro Interface (which may be all
    you've looked at) and the traditional Desktop Interface. The
    Modern/Metro interface is designed for tablets/touchscreen PCs, but
    the desktop interface is not, and you can use either one or both.

    That traditional Desktop Interface is almost identical to Windows 7's
    interface; the biggest difference is that there is no Start Orb to
    click to bring up the Start menu. But note that you can get the Start
    Orb back by using one of several third-party programs, either free or
    very inexpensive (Classic Shell at
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ and Start8 at
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Start8, but they are both very good).  And going from one interface to
    the other is very easy; there are several ways, but simply pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with the traditional desktop
    interface, and with Start 8 installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you would have a hard time realizing that it's not
    Windows 7.
    I also recommend that you read "How to Make Windows 8 or 8.1 Look and
    Feel Like Windows 7" at http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206
