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

    No this did not help and this will prevent me for trying more apps until this is fixed.

    Please do not call this a feature because for me it's a annoying bug.

    This is a horrible design solution. Often I try out apps and realize it is not something I would like to keep. I f the app is truly that great, I'm sure I will remember its name, or better, I would not delete it in the first place.

    Adding one more voice. Listen what customers want to do, not what you want to do, MS.

    I cannot agree more with needing an option to erase the app history. It's just common sense. Apps are deleted for a reason. Microsoft, please "fix in updates"
