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

    That is ridiculous, why do you think we uninstall them. At least give us the option.,

    Dumbest explanation ever.

    Rick When I originally posted my complaint about deleting un-needed apps from my account, I had no idea what a following I was going to have, all of them unhappy about the same issue. What is hilarious is that an MCSE will occasionally add a comment to the blog, which is in this thread several times stating in effect, "This is by design". That is the first thing that MS training teaches a MCSE candidate. Ever since Windows 98 if something is screwed up MS response is "This is by design"

    I also like the saying, "It is not a bug it is a feature."

    I seem to have three choices in the way they list that stuff.

    Installed apps, not installed apps, and all apps either way.

    IF the plain one about just installed ones worked correctly I

    would be happier.  "It is not a bug it is a feature."
