It appears you are asking how to remove traces of apps that you have already uninstalled from your Android device, specifically from the Google Play Store's record of your app history. Here's how to manage and remove those uninstalled apps:
Removing Uninstalled Apps from Your Google Play Store Library
While you can't completely "delete" the record of apps you've installed (and subsequently uninstalled), you can remove them from the "Manage apps & devices" list in the Google Play Store so they don't clutter the view. Here's how:
-
Open the Google Play Store app: Locate and open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
-
Tap the Profile Icon: At the top right, tap your Profile icon.
-
Navigate to Manage Apps & Devices: Tap Manage apps & devices. Then tap Manage.
-
Filter to See Uninstalled Apps: By default, you'll see installed apps. You'll need to filter the list to view apps that are not installed. Use the filter options to select "Not installed". This will display apps you've previously uninstalled but are still associated with your Google account.
-
Select Apps to Remove: Tap the checkbox next to the name of each app you want to remove from this list.
-
Tap the Delete/Trash Icon: Once you've selected all the apps you want to remove, tap the Delete or Trash icon (it usually looks like a trash can) at the top right. This will remove them from the "Not installed" list.
Important Considerations:
- This process removes the apps from this specific list in the Google Play Store. It does not delete the app data from your Google account entirely, nor does it affect apps installed on other devices connected to your Google account unless you repeat this process on those devices.
- You cannot delete pre-installed apps (also called bloatware) using this method. You can disable them if your device allows.
- Some apps are essential for the functioning of the phone and cannot be uninstalled or removed.
