How To Delete Past Uninstalled Apps On Google Play Store?

On December 22, 2012, In Tips, Tricks and How-To, By T2Rman

Question by Steve McGranaham: How To Delete Past Uninstalled Apps On Google Play Store?
The “new” Android Marker a.k.a Play Store shows “My Apps” & “All Apps”. Where it says “All Apps” it shows past installed apps that I no longer have but have installed in the past. Is there any way to delete them so they’re no longer visible?

Best answer:

Answer by Asher
If they’re uninstalled they should not show up on the “All Apps” section. Maybe you just removed the app from your home screen? Go to the app on the Play Store and see if you have a button that says “Uninstall”, if you do, uninstall it.
