Neither the Windows Store application nor your Microsoft Account control panel on the Internet provide options to remove obsolete apps from your account.Īdditionally, I noticed that I cannot remove some apps completely anymore from the system. The apps section alone lists about 100 apps that are not compatible with Windows 10, and hundreds more that are compatible but won't be installed on the machine ever again. This means that I have hundreds of apps and games listed in the library sections in Windows Store, and even quite a few apps that are not even compatible with Windows 10, the only operating system that I use that supports apps (I no longer run a Windows 8 device and have removed all devices linked to the account as a consequence). I test dozens of Windows 10 applications each week for my weekly series over at Betanews, and all of those apps and games that I test remain linked to the Microsoft Account permanently with no option to disassociate them from it. While you can use search, you may not always know the correct name of the application anymore so that you need to resort to browsing. It becomes harder to find apps or games that you want to reinstall.While I cannot say that it is caused by the number of apps associated to the account, it seems plausible. The library pages load only every second time or so on my fast Windows 10 PC due to the large number associated with my account. The sheer number of applications or games may cause loading issues.

Even if you have plans never to install it again, it is listed on the library page. Maybe you installed a trial version of an application only to find out that it is not what you need. The apps and games library listing gets filled with items that you may have no use for anymore.This includes free apps and trial versions, and even apps that are not compatible with the device you are running.
