When I load a new ROM and need to reinstall my apps there are usually a couple I don't want to install. Is there anyway to remove them from the "Not Installed" under "My Apps"? It seems like since I once downloaded and installed an app, it will always be there.
If I can't remove them, then I can't use the bulk install option and have to manually start all the installs.
use apps that on market. remove all cache.
Can anyone answer the OP's question?
I have the same issue, except that with telling your ROM to restore from your google account it installs all the apps... But there are apps that I don't want to have installed anymore.
It's very annoying.
So is there a way to remove apps under your account/from the NOT INSTALLED section of "My Apps" in the Market?
There is no way.
It's an issue that's been raised a thousand times on the Google Help Forums. Best thing is to add your voice to the many others there, and hope Google take notice one day.
I did... sent an email through Google app support ... doubt it will do much though. Got an automated confirmation but that's about it.
Sent from... you don't even wanna know.
What's extra annoying is my epic 4g insists on keeping TeleNav, NASCAR, Football and Media hub under Not Installed. I removed them from the phone so the should be 100% gone. How can market see an app when its apk has bee removed?
I've also broken the market link to several apps with titanium backup, and somehow market reattached itself to them and tried to update them. $^*^*(# Google, NO MEANS NO! What happened to not being evil?
Okay I have applications on my tablet that i got through alternative ways, and the market shows i payed for them but i didn't so i cannot update them. I want to pay so i can get updates but the problem is i cant get the market to allow me to pay for them because its linked to my google account. Is there a way around it so i can pay for it? I tried using titanium backup to destroy the market link but that's a no go, still shows i payed it so i cant buy to update. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and i will hit your thanks button.
Try and backup the app + data, uninstall, reboot, purchase and restore just the data.
Have you tried uninstalling the app(s) using Titanium Backup (keep the backup, just hit the uninstall button) ,then go to the market, re-install and purchase the app? Even though the market says purchased, when you go to update, you will never be able to without actually purchasing through the market because the market keeps track of what you purchase by association of your gmail. Tempting as it may be, NEVER get paid apps outside of the market for at least 2 important reasons : 1. SUPPORT DEVS! These apps take time and expertise and a number of other things, I'm sure you don't work for free, right? 2. Malware can be added to apps and you won't even know it, even if you use the latest/best antivirus/malware protection available! At least in the market you have a degree of protection against such bad things because a Dev does not want bad reviews and Google's Bouncer checks apps before they are allowed to be listed to minimize the chance of mailicious software. Sorry, really tried hard not to preach, just some friendly advice.

I have had this issue before too, and all my apps are from legal sources. OP may have done nothing wrong, because Amazon app store, getjar, and others show up this way in the Market. In TiBu, you can long press a problem app and select unattach to market and it will not show up. But if you want updates and to keep your data, the best way is what Gibeon said.
Correct I've gotten and paid on other markets. Ty for all the suggestions, ill try them out. Some apps I don't know what market I used for payment, but I rather just to buy again then figure it out. I did try uninstalling through titanium backup, a while back I used titanium backup and used the option of market doctor and somehow it links it to Google and can't figure it out to get rid of it. If I delete an app and destroy market link and go to Google online even with my computer it says I have purchased it already but errors out to get it. I'll mess around with it, shoot I guess I can make a second gmail to do it lol. Again thanks for your help
Probably an easy question but when I go into my apps it lists everyone I ever downloaded. How do I get rid of them so I dont have to scroll or auto download?
Guess nobody knows?
It should only list the ones you paid for, and of course the ones you have currently installed.
Free apps that you downloaded, and then uninstalled should only stay there until reboot (I believe)

Nope lists everything I ever had. Sick of going through 10 pages of stuff.
Try going into settings applications and market (or google play if you have the updated one), clear cache and data then open the maket up again accepting the terms and conditions. Go to my apps again and it should have cleared them.

I agree with clearing the market/play cache in app management.

Ok normally I can figure this out. Guess Im a little slow today but dont see that anywhere. I open google play , go to settings and dont have that option anywhere.
Go into phone settings not google play settings. Then applications then all tab at the top of screen. Find google play and tap it tap clear cache and clear data. Then start google play app as normal and accept the terms and conditions. Job done hopefully!

Because he used the words "10 pages of stuff", I believe the OP is talking about the website, not the phone app. https://play.google.com/store does show every app you've downloaded. It'll also show old phones you may not even own anymore. No way to get rid of them afaik, and if you google the problem theres all sorts of talk about it out there.

Yes that is correct as Ive flashed several Roms and anything I did have would have been cleared by now. Also yes to the webpage for google and it lists phones. That has changed several times. Guess I will google and try and find the answer. Thanks.
Post back if you do find a solution but the last I dug around on the subject a month or so ago, old apps and old devices are not removable from the Play website. Its something Google controls and there is nothing end users can do at this point.
Here's a good start for you with some relevant links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442148
While the link(s) above pertain mostly to removing old devices, the same goes for old apps. It seems Google is quite aware of it but does not want to give us control over removing such items.
The question of the day is, why?

Nobody wants to give up control. When setting up a Rom I have had it try to use Backup Asst. and I dont want it. So when I set up google I use to get these texts from verizon. Some whack crap. Called and funny how one tech takes care of it and the other is plain out stupid. I had one say freeze/force stop backup asst which you cant do because force stop just restarts. One tech took care of it and the other put in a trouble ticket.

Here is the file. Be sure to click on old market when you have it open, if you don't like it click on new market. Pretty straight forward. HOWEVER. It installed perfect for me but when I tried to get my apps up it would always time out. I think it is only because of my network though. So perhaps others should try it anyways.

The above posts both provide a workaround/partial solution. Here is my suggestion...
If you choose to try Old Market, when you launch it you can choose "old" or "new" market. It requires root permissions to work. After selecting which Market you would like, it will reboot the device and, once it is booted, the market you chose will be installed. Take note that I did in fact still see some free apps that weren't installed, but not all of them. Perhaps they were only the apps that were downloaded to this specific device/ROM.
That said, the "old" Market is indeed the very old V2 Market. I went back to "new" Market (V3), and it upgraded itself back to Google Play after a little while.
Unless you truly like the old interface of the Market, I'd recommend you go with CosmicDan's suggestion of logging in to Google Wallet and viewing your transaction history. This will give you a list of only the apps you have purchased. Unfortunately you can not install them to your device from there, but at least you can see only the apps you have purchased without seeing every app you have ever downloaded.

Is there a way to view only one's purchased apps in the new Play Store? The new interface for the My Apps section does not seem to have a way to do this like it used to, instead showing seemingly every app one has ever downloaded, with purchased apps mixed in (in no logical order).

Big time bump on this! They really do need to add a tab that shows purchased not just installed and history.
Just ran across this. Hope there is a fix in the works. Not being able to sort the apps is a major FAIL.
I let my son have my old droid and he went crazy downloading what looks like every free app offered....my mistake for not creating a junk gmail account. Now I have literally hundreds and hundreds of apps listed in my app section of the play store.
Bump, I would like to know also
It appears that even the app management section of the Google Play website doesn't have this capability. On the positive side, the site looks great! -_-
This is just wrong, when you've bought allot of apps and downloaded plenty of free apps.
There's got to be an easier way to see what you've bought and redownload!
Someone got a clue?

This is such a fkn annoying issue. BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other thing is there should be a tab to multi select app installs so you aren't directed to the install screen and forced to start from the beginning of the main screen after you go back. If that is not an option at least add the ability to install "ALL" paid apps.
Why in the hell would we not get the option to see purchased apps only but we get the option to see "ALL" downloaded apps paid or unpaid. That's just fkn ridiculous
P.S. To anyone that is going to tell me to roll back or move previous apk versions to system/app or even use an app to do it for you and blah blah blah. I have tried everything.
The closest I got was using the apk I will attach for everyone here. Be sure to unzip it and move the file to your phone and use a file explorer to install it.
Here is the file. Be sure to click on old market when you have it open, if you don't like it click on new market. Pretty straight forward. HOWEVER.

so I should be able to choose which market I want to use on the fly when I install this apk?
This has got to be one of google's biggest recent FAILS.
It's been like this for over a month now, and what seems like a very simple and basic fix hasn't even arrived yet. Do you all think they are even aware of this being an issue for us?
My suggestion...

Please see the updated OP for my suggestion, as well as the answer to your question.
Think this will ever be resolved? this is beyond annoying. Do you think Google is even listening? Lol

Not likely any time soon in my opinion. I'm quite positive that they knowingly made the decision to change (read remove) the list of only paid apps in the Play Store, in an effort to "improve" the app. Unfortunately.
.— Powered by Nexus —.
Another Google Fail just like the crappy resolution contact pictures that they refuse to fix. Thanks google for making have to make duplicate phone contacts and link everything. Also thank you for getting rid of showing only the paid apps.
Google has always been a piece of.. garbage, but as of late, they have just been, a piece of... junk..
Well, I do not think Google forgot to have that view. From their point of view it absolutely makes sense:
If you forget about an app you bought some day, you might end up buying another one, providing the same functionality later. And that is where they get money from, not you re-installing an already bought app.
It does not go too well with the "don't be evil" motto, but this was clearly a deliberate choice by Google.
There's still the Legacy Play Store from some MoDaCo user: http://www.modaco.com/topic/356009-r2-legacy-play-store-with-all-purchased-apps-visible/ .

I was aware of that, but it does not launch. Instead it immediately upgrades to Play Store as well.

The r2 works fine for me. I've put it to /system/app … I had to delete the app data to make it run again after a reboot, though.
Alright so basically everything I'm about to say will make me look like an idiot. I've poked around on my phone removing a bunch of stuff it looked like I didn't need with some of it being recommended to not be removed and one day I couldn't connect to the google play store because it said check your connection and try again with a retry button and hitting retry would just bring the profile panel out from the side. So I installed the alternative App Store Aptoide and everything was fine because I didn't need the play store. i think I may have used lucky patcher the first time I screwed up the play store and tried to install clean versions now that I think of it. But now no google app whatsoever works including stuff like snapchat that says I need to update google play services in order to continue and then it takes me to my broken play store. I've tried to uninstall updates and reinstall the google apps to no avail. Please help! I'm slowly losing functionality of my phone

Your best bet will be to reflash a stock rom for your device. Also Aptoide and lucky patcher are warez apps and not allowed to be talked about on the site. Either one of those could easily have had some malware embeded into the apks.
Word of advice. Unless you know what your doing dont go deleting things.
Thanks, sorry I didn't know about those apps. Roughly how much will I lose by flashing a stock rom?

You will most likely be starting from a clean set up so back up everything you need like pictures and such.
Also this is probably also not allowed but where can I get a stock rom since I never backed mine up ? I know I'm stupid

Look in the forums for your device. A simple Google search for stock rom (device name) should get you what you need.
