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 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.

    This is not the first time I have seen follow on posts ignored.  I think part of that is because the original poster marked the thread as answered.  You would think, that with so many follow on posts, a flag would be set to indicate that the thread should be reviewed again.

    Ok, giving them a week sounds good.

    I also agree that this post should be reviewed again ,

    but actually  i do not understand to set a flag again after i set it as answered thread.

    I just received it gladly design

    Although clearly a bit disappointing the consumer.

    Hi Anumerta,

    I was noting that threads, in general, not just your thread, that are marked as answered are rarely reviewed again.  "Setting a flag" would be like turning on an alarm automatically, so that Microsoft Customer Support would know to look at the thread again.

    We all appreciate that you took the time to post the problem in the first place.

    Larry
