Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community Forums.

From your issue description , I understand that you need to delete the uninstalled App history from the Windows App Store.

Unfortunately its not possible to delete the uninstall App history in the windows 8 App store. Its designed like that .So in future if you want install any of these apps again in your computer you don’t to have search for that in the whole App Store. You can just select “My Apps” and from there you can install that once again very easily.

Hope this helps. Please get back to us if you have any other questions

    That is absurd. What is your educational background; Your experience; and position at Microsoft? You sound like a stumbling, patronizing teenager with such an answer.... Work on your Apps now! They are getting more inefficient by the moment.

    Yeah!!, I got Idea how to remove it,

    First, create new Microsoft Account (outlook.com, Live.com, or Hotmail.com),

    use the new Microsoft Account with new Windows account?

    or change the Current User with new Microsoft Account?, remove the PC that sync to the old account.

    remember to transfer the contact and related link with the old account to new account if you like to delete the old account.

    it record lock on the Microsoft Account, not the Windows Store....

    Microsoft should fix/update it at the Microsoft Account

    I would also like the option to delete apps I no longer want. Why would we root around for deleted apps when we can just use the search option to find it straight away.

    Not being able to delete your app history is a stupid idea, I decided what I want on my computer not you!

    Now hurry up and fix it!!!
