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 wander why this issue remains unresolved for so long despite sufficient reasons and arguments from customers classifying this 'feature' as a 'bug' that denies the needed option. Is this really a feature anymore?

    I would also like to say that I agree with Everything JynnxT said.  I don't need an uninstalled APP history, because the same reason.  I Uninstalled those Apps because I didn't like them.  Why have 50 or a 100 unused app shortcuts, that I will never use, cluttering my screen?

    Its Windows 8.1 preview beta so I'm hoping that the Windows division will add the option that we all want here...

    Microsoft reversed one of their decision with Xbox One due to the amount of ruckus, perhaps the same could be done for the Windows store if enough people complain.

    Well even with Windows 8.1 (Blue) the app history still can't be deleted.  

    UFB!
