Allow Windows Phone users to delete unwanted items from their App Purchase History.

Over time this list will increase making it increasingly difficult to locate apps for reinstall. The ability to remove unwanted entries will help this issue.

        I'm out of votes but I would appreciate this feature. Similar to the way you can delete xbox demos from your game history I'd like to weed out the junk that accumulates.

        Had my iphone 4 for a little over a week now and of course been trying all kinds of apps. A lot of them are deleted, but cannot be deleted in the purchased history section if you have the Io6 upgrade. This will become increasingly annoying. This should be a "no brainer" for apple to accomodate. What can I do about this ?

        Need to have a way to delete trial and poor apps from purchase history list. I try a lot of apps but keep just a few.

        Deleting unuseful apps from the download history is a fundamental feature to let the phone not to became a mess!

        Definitely need one, it's so irritating to see the apps I just 'tried out' and not just the apps I really want.

        I suffer from severe OCD's which force me to organize and sort things. This might seem stupid or strange to people that don't have this but it's hard, i keep deleting accounts, reinstalling windows and it was one of the reasons i switched from our office iphone to a new lumia 800. It's the best phone i ever held in my hands and this is the only issue. Though i understand the reason for keeping the history (legal, marketing etc.) I still believe the history list should act as what it is intended for, a list of apps you like and want to remeber rather then everything you click on.

        Windows Phone is the future! Spread the word!

        definately need the option to delete from history. i have several htc and telstra apps that keep adding a new icon in my history everytime an update comes along. for instance my telstra hub app has 7!!!!!!!!!! entries in my download history. absolute garbage that is. when an app is purchsed why doesnt it replace the trial icon with a purchased one???? come on microsoft, dont jerk off your customers. im tring hard to stay loyal.

        Especially would like to remove "Trial" versions of apps I have actually purchased after trying them out.

        I posted this same Idea, but since nobody voted for mine, i'm voting for yours.

        if removing them is not possible, at least mark them as unwanted or as not reinstall, or hide them from history.
