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

    Add me to this list too this is a stupid design, I now have stupid games that were free that we tried out and never want but are unable to get rid of them, and they are cluttering up the apps I do want to always keep. 

    Sort it out Microsoft I can't see how anyone would fine this feature useful. It should be my decision what I want to keep in my App's history not yours.

    Regards
