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

    yes well ...

    i have installed (and bought) apps for windows 8.1 and phone and my surface up to now. there are several games i would like to try but am not sure if they are any good.

    since i can not remove **** from my install history, i have decided not to give any apps a try, i will only install stuff that i laready know a lot about - e.g. vlc player once it comes out for arm-type windows. it is microsofts (literal) loss not mine at this point.

    anyway at its current state the shop is close to unusable - the incentive programs to get app-developerst to put many apps on only lead to thousands of identical apps from the same developer with different names flooding the lists. you cannot find anything useful anyway at this point unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

    p.s. thanks microsoft for being so up tight as to block s-h-i-t by the way and in addition for your auto-blocking killing all the structure of a post ... way to go, what a work of genius ...
