I am checking out some free apps in Windows store I think might be useful... Yes, they are useful, however some of them are not. I have uninstalled it but, what I want now is to remove them to my purchased list (the lists that show when you click the "Your apps"). How can I remove them? or can I remove them?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    It is not possible to remove the uninstalled apps from “Your Apps in Windows Store”. This is just to store the history of the apps you had installed so that you may install it again when you want.

    If you need assistance in future to fix any Windows related issues, please reply and we will be happy to help you.

    This would be great!  Perhaps Microsoft will look at adding this feature in a future update as it makes my store look cluttered. 

    Also, why default to the uninstalled apps, and why show all uninstalled and installed apps when you click the show all apps on this computer function?  Default to the installed apps please, and don't show me uninstalled apps when all I want to see are the installed apps.

    Thanks for reading.

    Yes and this is our problem. RIM and Android have just updated their app world apps recently to give functionality of clearing uninstalled apps list forever. It is time for Microsoft to do the same. We don't want to keep a list of junks we don't want. If we need to re-install the apps, which rarely happens, we'll do it manually. Please update and give the Store this functionality.
