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

    It is these awful design features that hinder the uptake of your platform. Attempts to force use don't go over well.

    Please Microsoft, just create a clear history or delete button for the apps. I'm getting sick of these bad apps catching dust in the My Apps section.

    I have a few minor gripes with Windows 8 at the moment but nothing too major. The lack of a permanent delete feature for unwanted apps is, however, top of my list.

    I totally agree. And what is worst... the problem of the history of uninstalled apps continues in Windows 8.1.

    Please fix!!

    A friend's daughter installed "Fart soundboard" when I wasn't looking.  Now it's there FOREVER!!!  I don't want an undeleteable history until the end of time.  This is a violation of privacy and good taste, and makes people reluctant to try new apps.  Please change this!!!
