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

    Microsoft has a really eco-friendly campus. Instead of generating waste and filling landfills, they archive all their trash in warehouses in case they need that banana peel down the road. Reuse>Recycle.

    Add me to list of people that want this feature fixed. Not being able to update the apps list on my phone or desktop is really annoying. Just upgraded my windows phone and desktop and it's taking forever to figure what apps I want to install.

    This App store design is ******. What if I tried 1000 apps. I will have them in the history and if I want to install one of them later. This is equal to look for it again in the whole store. Please fix your ****** design and let us decide if we want history or not.

    That´s the KEY thing. I totally agree.

    PS. Yes, it seems that with this design you will have the unwanted apps forever...and ever.

    PS2. This is the fourth question of the Windows Store section of this forum if we order them by number of replies (165 in this case). And it has 649 helpful votes. So, it could have already been solved. Definitely.
