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

    I agree that the option to remove apps from the "history" is going to make it better for people that like to hold onto their MS accounts for years, instead of creating a new account every time they get a new device, or don't want to keep seeing old apps that are no longer of use.

    A similar, but related question: how can I turn off the app history "feature" in my Programs List? I think this was a radio button option when I signed on my new Surface tablet, and it shows ALL the uninstalled apps in my Programs list. I'd prefer to see ONLY what's installed on my machine.

    How do I clear the Windows store app history?

    You can't. It is called a feature. They insist on keeping it that way for some odd reason.
