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 hated this part of Win 8/8.1.  Don't understand why they never changed it.  However, updated to Windows 10 for free, problem solved.

    these uninstalled apps are consume the internal memory, so its necessary to delete these apps from the phone. but what to do ????????

    Is only a history or shortcuts saved on your MS Account - Server.  It doesn't use any space on your computer... but is still annoying, if they made at least hide button will be awesome users will still have all applications but if they don`t like it or... apps will not be showed!

    They say this:

    "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."

    IT IS NOT! If user have 100 apps but he use only 10 ok 20 how long he will search for specific applications? If they made favoritesthis option would be a alot alot better and much easier for all users!

    But unfortunately they don`t care....
