how to delete the history of uninstalled apps in win 8.1 store

This was 1 of the really annoying features of Windows 8 and I am dismayed to see it is still there in windows 8.1, is there still no option to remove apps from the windows store history?

I agree I hate this as well and hoped that 8.1 would resolve this.  I searched and found that the Windows 8 was set up purposely so you could find apps that you had uninstalled, in case you want to re-install them. (per a MS response to the same question in Dec 2012).  There apparently was a request made to MS to provide this in Feb 2013.  I guess they felt we didn't know what we wanted.

I guess it did not occur to anyone that you might not want to re-install every app that you have tried.  All it does is take up space. Yuck!

I COMPLETELY AGREE, THERE SHOULD BE AN UPDATE TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

I EXPECTED MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH MICROSOFT COMPARE TO APPLE.

I REALLY DISLIKE THIS FEATURE ,THESE APP THAT ARE NOT INSTALLED STILL HAVE ASSETS TO OUR INFORMATION BECAUSE WE AGREE TOIT . SIMPLY TRYING OUT APPS CAUSE A BUILD-UP. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DELETE IF I OR WE WANTED BACK WE KNOW HOW.

YES LIKE GOOGLE/ANDROID

Android apps are saved once they are installed to a list of ALL APPS (even if you uninstall them), however, you do have the option to select apps that are uninstalled and permanently remove them from this list. You can select them, and BULK DELETE if you wish or delete them one at a time.

It is the USERS CHOICE HOW THEY ARE MANAGED, even though they are initially saved to help you quickly find them again should you wish to reinstall.

PLEASE MICROSOFT - FOLLOW THEIR LEAD,

THIS IS WHAT USERS WANT - THE ABILITY TO MANAGE OUR OWN APPS!!!!
