Can we delete apps from our Google Play 'memory'?

I sort of like the new ALL apps feature in Google Play/my apps except there are tons of freebies I downloaded eons ago that I don't want to be forced to scroll through to get to the apps I want to install.

Is there a way to clean out this list?

Have you tried clearing them via desktop play store? I haven't, but that my best guess.

I looked at it but didn't see any options, if you right click on them it's like right clicking on opening a link. Going to keep looking around.

Okay after googling how to delete Google apps from my apps library the short answers seems to be, you can't. End of discussion no further support offered by the good people at Google.

At the very least we should be able to sort them, alphabetically, free vs paid, newest vs oldest. Bah!

Thanks, that's pretty much the answer I had found but nice to see it in their own words. Seriously, how difficult a task can it be to give a delete option?

You can bet I'm going to be a LOT pickier about downloading any apps in the future. On the desktop play store it's not really a big deal but on my phone it's a pain in the ass.

Same thing if you use Amazon Appstore. Cannot delete old apps

Not true. You can delete them if you visit amazon appstore on a desktop. You just can't do it from the app on your phone. I have a joint account with my wife and just went through deleting the 20 different mahjong games she didn't like as much as number 21. Couldn't stand having the list cluttered up that badly.

Removing apps on Play 3.10.9

I don't know if I just didn't saw it till now, or it's a new option. But on the current version, under My Apps and then swiping to the ALL tab - there is an option to remove old apps from the play store memory!
Now I can finally do a little bit of order there!
