how to delete the history of uninstalled apps in win 8 store

Designed like that? I Doubt it. Just covering mistakes. Still cant add a desktop icon from the start menu. Must be designed like that!! no just didn't actually do any work or test with windows 8 b4 putting on sale. Obvious people need simple functions like that while working. Has any of the simple niggles been addressed? No! Doing Windows 10 instead. Get take another 200 quid per customer all over again! If you didn't own market people wouldn't except it. Your just lucky you can treat people this way. if there were rival  products we'd tell you to go **** yourselves. If something comes out which trumps directx 12 your dead in the water and everybody will happily watch Microsoft drown saying to their friends 'its designed to do that ya know'. Your paving the way for Appleworkstations and gaming pcs like steam boxes. How you going to compete if you make statements like that instead of just adding a couple of functions?? if openGL type projects overtake directx its over, there will each aspect dealt with by better OS's and no place for **** half-works Microsoft.

Hello,

Here's my two cents. I have apps that I used to use and are no longer available. Yet they're in My Apps. Now iTunes has a choice for users to delete apps why can't Windows? I just think it's more to do with laziness, that's why there is no delete option in windows store.

Same here, absolutely horrible feature. Let us decide what to keep!

Dear Microsoft

Fix it, coz we need to delete uninstalled-unwanted app from history and registry

This is a peer support forum. We are all just users of this version of

Windows here, helping each other if and when we can. We are not

Microsoft employees (not even those of us with "Microsoft MVP" behind

our names; that's an honorary title for having provided consistently

helpful advice) except for an occasional Microsoft contractor or

employee.

If you want to complain to Microsoft about something, please contact

them directly. Trying to do it here is just a waste of (figurative)

breath, and clutters up the forum.

well there are microsoft support engineers in this forum too, who actually could pass on topics like this.

but i agree we can close this thread, it has ceased being of any value, since the last "official" reply was way ofer a year ago.

microsoft clearly is not interested in the least to address issues like this anytime soon (at least they have started cleaning out the ****- and fraudware in the store now).

if an option to clean the install-history ever comes along i will give the shop another chance. until then not a single new metro/new-ui app will find its way on my pc or surface2. its as easy as that. its their own sales they are hurting with missing basic functionality like that ... as if those sales were not measly enough to start with. its sad to see microsoft drop the ball so badly on the surrounding infrastructure of windows 8, it is such a gread os in general.
