Hi,
The app is installed. Im able to open it. But the app is not listed, because that is a functionality of the application.
As stated in play store
"Its completely hidden in every way, there will be no icon in your application list and no trace of this app ever being opened. Complete stealth!"
Now I dont want a phantom app running in my phone. So please help me remove the application

Well I've searched everywhere but I still haven't found a way to clear my app history. Yes, if go to manage apps and clear data/cache from the market app, it does clear it from the phone, but when I log in to the market from my desktop browser and go to 'My Market Account', I still see a huge list of every app I have ever downloaded and installed.
Someone please tell me how to clear this list so that it only shows apps that are currently installed on my phone.
UPDATE: I just realized that not all my apps are listed under 'My Orders' on my desktop browser. It's very weird if you ask me. I thought it lists every app I've ever downloaded but it randomly leaves out apps and I can't make any sense of it. Some help would be much appreciated!
You can use app "root toolbox" in this app u can do that

So I use the Amazon app store and GetJar for free 'paid' apps. Some of these apps are showing up in "My Library" on my Google Android Market account. Is there a way to remove them from the Android Market account?
One recent problem is Wave Launcher which used to be free on GetJar. I don't see it listed anymore on GetJar and I can't even buy it from the Android Market since it thinks it's already purchased (but declines the 'install' saying it's not purchased). A 'delete' button like in the Amazon app store library would solve all of this...
Short of changing google accounts, I don't see any options on how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas? The problem is on my market library, not my phone (I know how to remove market links, etc.). Thanks.
I to have this problem its very annoying their has to be a way to clean it up.
I actually used the 'report' app function on the google market and got a reply back. They have "forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible". We'll see what comes of it. Amazon's app store has a simple delete button in that library. It doesn't seem like that would be too hard to implement.
did you ever get a reply for this?
would love to be able to remove all the apps i just simply try for the sake of testing and i want them gone.....
listen to your users G!
I believe Titanium Backup can do this if you are rooted.

You can "fix" market links with it by long pressing on the app in question.

On the website I don't see an option, but it is possible on your phone.
I am not sure if all versions of the play store have this option (I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2):
When I open the play store on my phone I can remove previous installed apps from the list.
Go to: Play Store > My Apps > All
There you can remove an app by tapping the Ø icon

Yeahp. It works.
I deleted some yesterday on my mobile, but they were still on my web "Other apps in my library".
Today, I deleted some again and reloaded the webpage. They disappeared.
Thanks for the tip.
Ok, maybe it needs some time to sync. Great it works!

I have this issue as well--phone app has no provision for deleting the apps, on JB ROM.
Hi, i've noticed that once I update a system apk for the first time from the play store, it appears in the "My Apps" list on Google Play. However if I then disable that app, it still appears under the play store history (with "disabled" shown next to it), but with no way to remove it from the My Apps list. Aside from rooting the phone and removing the apk by hand (which I know causes the App to disappear from the My Apps list, disabled or not), and then reloading the apk, but disabling it before google play detects it again, is there any way to remove that app from the My Apps list in the play store? I've tried online through the desktop store but I can't find a way to do that either.
I would like to know this too, Got a bunch of crapware apps disabled (frozen) with Titanium Backup but they still show up as "Disabled" under ALL My Apps in the Google Play Store. Annoying
From your mobile open the Play Store app. Open the panel from the left and select "My apps".
Choose "All" and hit the cross on the right of each app you want to remove from this list.

That sounds good in theory but just isn't true. I have no crosses (x's) on all those apps that are disabled (frozen with Titanium Backup). There is no way to remove them from the freakin' all apps list

You need to uninstall them of course. Freezing isn't uninstalling.

I've been having Titanium Backup for a few months now, but have always been curious about what the "Market links" are.
So my questions are:
What are market links?
How do they work?
What does attaching an app to market do/creating a market link?
What does removing a market link do?

market links connect your app to google play store.
when your app receives an update market links helps you to be aware of the same.
its helps u get update info abt your app
if you are rooted, Using Titanium Backup (Pro) long click/press on the app you want to 'disconnect' from the market.
Then select Detach from Market. this will remove your market link but then you wont get any updates..

If I purchase an app or download a free one, will the application have to be repurchased/as if it has never been downloaded so long as it isn't attached to the market via link?

if you purchase an app the the purchase details are linked to your google account. so even if you reflash rom / wipe your phoone etc , if you log into the same google account it will automatically show as you have purchased that app.
Although for safety try not to mess with the market links of purchased apps..

Thank you so much with the fast reply!
One more question, when I download apps through the Play Store, and I go into Titanium Backup, I would expect an option in the menu saying "Detach from market", but they only have the "Attach to market option". this doesnt make any sense since the apps downloaded from the Play Store are already attached from the market. Can someone please explain this to me? Does the "attach to market option only work with sideloaded apps?
One last thing about Paid side loaded apps: Plants Vs. Zombies is $0.99 on the play store, if I side load it and atttach it to the market via a link, will I get updates even though it's sideloaded? Also will it appear in my app history as purchased if it's installed on the device? Will it appear as purchased if it's uninstalled from the device?
Thanks!

its showing "attach to market" because u have not installed that app from play market. you might have downloaded apk from somewhere and installed it separately(side loaded). Check other apps too that u have downloaded from play store have the same problem.

attaching market link should ensure that you get updates regardless whether the app is sideloaded or not ! i mean thats what attaching to market means ! no matter whether you are using TB or not if you have purchased app the it is linked to your google account that the app is purchased by you. Google is'nt counting on everyone to install TB and use the option of attach to market to get updates on purchased apps....

unfortunately only for the time beeing.. after a reboot the link is there again. Pretty annyoing as there are some devs patching their apps to crap until they don't work anymore. Got one of them and it was so easy to update all your apps, but you have to do it one after another 'cause this s**t app simply does not work when updated.
An Android app I use was removed from the play store. I was never notified and the app is still installed and working. I have a couple questions. Is it possible to find out why the app was removed? Is it still safe to use the app? Why did Google remove it but not notify me and leave it installed?

Firstly, assuming that the app was removed, Google can remove it, basically for security reasons and has no obligation to, either, notify users, and less, remove it from your device.
The app also could decide to retire itself from the Play Store.
Search in the net, if some information, regard this app can be found.
App removed from Google Play Store - Google Play Help
If you are looking for an app that is no longer available on Google Play, the developer may have removed the app from Google Play or the app violated our Google Play Developer Program Policies
support.google.com
You can try to find and reach the developer and ask your questions.
Google can remove malicious apps from your device without notifying you. If the app is still installed probably it's safe to use it.
