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

    Ok

    i REALLY love my surface2 but that move with your app-history is so far beyond stupid, it went full on retard mode out the other side.

    pretty much everybody tries several apps before choosing one. whats the point in having a gazillion youtube-apps i will NEVER EVER want to install because i finally found and bought the right one for me?!

    i want to clear the history of all the useless garbage so i can easily find those apps i might one day want to reinstall.

    get a move on microsoft you are 3 years behind already you do not have to repeat EVERY mistake the others may have made in the beginning.

    sheesh!

    Microsoft just wants you to use their products exactly as they design it they will not respond cause they are not free for us they are developing just what they see it wrong not what we see it wrong I'll buy mac I'm really frustrated enough waiting 

    badly , they won't change

    Nothing has changed all year long. Is it that hard ?

    Why such obvious things like these must be talked about all year? ...just do it...

    That would be great attitude towards customers, listening to their needs and problems.

    Thanks

    This ist a complete design mistake! Google also did the same error and they had to correct it because of userpressure! I've tried out some nice looking apps but they were useles! So following Microsoft I have to carry on this rabbisch until I'm not longer use Microsoft? 

    Please wake up and do not do the same errors as your competitors. Android learned it and others also did why cant MS also learn?

    Please ad the DELETE functen in the Appstore! Windows 8.1 is soooooo gread OS but........

    Thank you for taking all the comments about this subject for serious!
