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

I replied directly to the original support engineer asking if he could raise a change request, that was a week ago and there has been no response.  Others asked the same some time before that.  As well as the Windows App store problem we are now brewing up a valid complaint about support.

What does it take to get a reply from Microsoft?

It is looking more and more like a new question will get a response, in this case "tough that's how it works" and then all subsequent comments seem to get a severe ignoring.  A cynic might believe that support get paid based on clear up rate, i.e. respond to a question that;s a tick in the box. Following up earns no points.

Come on Microsoft, prove me wrong and tell me you have raised a change request and will keep this growing band of people updated with progress.

I will give it another week then suggest we all raise two support questions to see if anyone is listening, one about this stupid design decision and getting a change raised another querying the support strategy.

Come on Microsoft, wakey wakey.

I 10th the notion of deleting unwanted apps from previously tried menu

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

Remember Sinofsky?  It is rumored that he was removed mainly because he did not listen to customer feedback, especially corporate customer feedback.  Who is next?

I have apps listed for computers that don't even exist anymore.  They were virtual machines that were used for Windows 8 testing from Alpha on through RTM.  This was testing to support Microsoft product development.  I don't need to see the lists for those computers.  Not having a means to remove them is just poor design and planning.

To say "It's designed like that" is a very shortsighted point of view on the part of Microsoft.  Operating System features can, and must, evolve to respond to the needs of the customer.

Think about it, do you want customers complaining and remarking about the problems they are having with your product?  I think you would rather have them make excellent remarks and continue to use your products. 

Please escalate this to the appropriate product team in Redmond.
