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

    We are just explaining that this is the way it is and has been since Windows 8.0 was released. I didn't say I agree with it, just that currently there has been no other answer and it has not been even rumored to be in the works. I am sure Microsoft is aware of those who do not agree with this design and if you want to express your feels in there feedback area. or join their feedback program at winpanel@Microsoft.com    Also your post gives me the impression that you think you are talking to Microsoft. That is not the case We members are users just like you and volunteer our time to try and assist ours with their issues or get help with ours. Hope this helps and if you need further assistance post and we will be glad to Help you.

    Frankly this response is next to 'useless'.

    Your customers don't want this - so remove the history, or at least make it an optional decision for the 'customer' to make themselves

    Microsoft express reason for this is that it will make easier for the user to reinstall this way withoutr having to search the whole store. Hope this helps and if you need further assistance post and we will be glad to Help you.

    And yet Microsoft want people to use the Store. Exactly how hard is it to send this feedback to Microsoft. The only feedback I get from this thread is "We don't care what you think. We designed it this way so like it." Is this the kind of relations you want to have with your users?
