My Apps - All Listing (May Day)!

Yes, May Day!

I was just looking at the listing of My Apps on Google Play and am currently stunned, as it is showing every app that I have ever installed (yes, good and bad).

Is there anyway to remove the apps that I will never want use again?

Here is how you get to this listing:

Open Play Store
Click Settings button (on phone)
Goto: My Apps... Here you will see a listing of Installed Apps
Now glide to the right....You will see all apps installed, purchased and not installed AND INSTALLED, BUT REMOVED.

My question is, how to remove the unwanted apps history?

Obviously, there are apps that I have poked around with, but I really do not want that history showing.

Thxs in advance
 
If you click on the app (in the list presented after clicking my apps) it will bring up a page describing the app (reviews and such). Instead of asking you if you want to install (like a new app) it it will give you the option of uninstalling.

Note that some apps are locked on the device and cannot be uninstall (like verizon navigate) and those will not have the uninstall option.

I believe he's referring to apps that are already un-installed, bit still listed as being downloaded by you...the same way Amazon's app store works. I saw this also and would like to remove them as well.

Correct....There is a history track out there that appears to be unremovable.

Hey Droid-Life or others, Please attack this as a breach of security. I have a lot of apps, that I installed early on, that may be found unnessarly (sp) :mad:

Ummmm what is the problem with it showing the list of all the apps accessed by you ? isnt all online stores designed to work that way ?
 
It's so if something goes wrong with your phone your Apps ( especially the ones you paid for ) are ready to redownload.

Sounds to me like we have some folks that are regretful they tried some of those porn, adult related apps :).

Hardly. The app store history is littered with garbage. Free versions of programs I later upgraded to paid, Motorola bloatware that does not work on Samsung phones, and uncounted apps that simply never worked. i.e., Need for Speed: Shift.

Even Apple, the second-most evil company in the universe after Zynga, allows users to hide purchases and keep their history tidy.
