Ok, so since I change roms occasionally it is a pain to have my apps try and restore themselves everytime I start a new ROM. I'd be ok if it were just 50 or so apps, but it tries to install every app I have ever downloaded and that is a TON!
I know I can skip the sign in process and turn off "automatic restore" but is there a way to just delete the cache of apps that the Market thinks I want? That way I can allow the auto restore without having it force close my phone because its overloaded.
+1
anyone??????????
there are no body for this...
The only way i can think of is uninstalled each app via the market once it's installed. That will remove it from your account
Has anyone ever figured this out? I have tried uninstalling from "Manage applications" in settings. I have tried uninstalling from the marketplace app. I have went onto the website but there is NOTHING that you can do with the apps in your "My Apps" list.
I flash my phone a few times a month and I think it is nice that it will reinstall all your market apps but there are a LOT that I just install to try and then want them GONE forever. Has anyone ever figured this out?
Thanks,

There is no way to do it from what I can tell. It drives me nuts. I wish Google would fix this.
There is a toggle for it in privacy settings and if using a new gb release you get that option in the setup wizard too
Thanks, but I do not think that is exactly what I am looking for.
I use CM7 nightlies but a few times a month I like to clean house and reinstall. Yes I do get the option to either sync or not sync.... but both ways suck right now. If I sync then I have to go back and remove all the CRAP that is sitting out there... If I dont sync I have to go back and install all the Apps that I actually want from there....
Both way suck. What I want is to be able to remove the items in the list for restore. That is the part that Google needs to fix. It is just annoying as heck.
Thanks,

Edit the "market_assets.db" file perhaps?

I believe that Google has said that if you uninstall an app that you did NOT purchase then it will be removed from your "My Apps" section within a week or so? Has anyone seen this?
As far as removing individual apps, perhaps the /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db file can be edited? I have found that deletion of this file, a reboot, then opening the android market; solves the "Missing My Apps" section on the market. I JUST did this solution, so I am not sure if this is a long term fix or not.
This issue in particular may be related to Titanium Backup Pro? Unsure, but I am a user if Titanium Backup
My point is, this database file has our market link data. Claerly when the data is broke the "My Apps" section is missing, yet perhaps there is a way to edit this file to hide a few apps from the "My Apps" section?
I can't post up links yet as I am still a new member, but if someone wants to view the .db files there is an application called "SQLite Database Browser" available on PortableApps dot com. This browser does not appear to show the actual data, only the tables and extents, yet this is at least a start... I believe there are linux database viewers that will actually show the data if desired
--Edit--
I found the Google link about removing downloaded apps. They simply say you can uninstall, and that there is no way to remove the apps from "My Apps" section on com.android.com

I am not sure if it is relevant but there is an option in Titanium Backup relating application's market link or something. May it be useful?

Tell us more. Does this finally solve the problem of removing old paid apps from our accounts?

Glad if it helps. I wasn't sure because i never used that.
I know its a somewhat old thread but I myself would like to delete the "my apps" from play store... does anyone know if its possible?
Didn't find it in TB... but the way, doesn't it unlink only apps that you have installed?
Im looking for this feature also...Remove link from market...i don't have these apps installed anymore...
remove apps from my apps
Go to Google Play
Press the downloaded symbol (line with arrow above it) in the top left corner.
Slide over to "All"
To select, hold finger on an app.
Now you can just tap an app to add it to the list.
Repeat for all apps you want to remove.
Press remove in top left.
Done.
This is the fastest wayI have found but really it needs a webpage or something to quickly select from the THOUSANDS of apps cluttering the place.

And go back to market 3.1.3

i dont know about most people, but i tend do download and try out a lot of apps from the maket just to compare and i was wondering if there is anyway for someone to remove apps quickly (e.g. iphone style). yes i know go get an iphone..etc etc, but i just want this one feature. i just find it hassle to go in to settings-->manage applications and wait for it to load and scroll down and find the app and click uninstall, especially when your downloading and trying a bunch of apps.

when you start it (or hit the overview button) on the bottom right click on the "problems" button. That will install busybox. Let it do it than refresh the app list. Profit.
Yea, i felt a bit dumb not clicking that button. Looking at it, it just seems like support link...but I guess I should have clicked on it anyway.
But yea, that works. Thanks

I have searched this forum and the web, still surprised about the poor integration of multiple devices in Google Play.
Can anybody tell me if there is any easy and fast way to transfer most of your app's to a new device?
I am amazed the lack of usability in this matter? Why is there not a column based page with all your registered devises from left to right and all the app's downwards, then a box to "tick" on each device to install or delete multiple app's in one go??? How hard can it be???
I know you can use Titanium but you need to be rooted and still go by each app individual or take all in one go, this do not make any sense since a newer device might not need all the app's.
On Google Play I can see all my app's and then install them one by one with a confirmation box for every one? long and boring task.
A column based set-up where you choose which app's to be installed on what device you have registered seems like a "no-brainer" to me but I have not been able to find anything that resembles that??
Does it exist and am I a knob or is this a major oversight by Google???
All suggestions are welcome.

The key here is you need to tell Google to restore your phone once you install an OS. If you did this, the Play Store automatically downloads all your previously installed apps.
Also, in Titanium you have the checkboxes on the side as you're asking for, you just deselect the checkboxes besides the red apps pretty much...
I'm a bit confused over the relationship between the apps in the playstore's 'My Apps' list and those apps I have actually installed. I assume the apps in Playstore's 'My Apps' list is simply what I have and had ever installed in current and previous phones. Now I want to have a clean out of 'My Apps'.
I want to remove quiet a few applications from 'My Apps' list (a sort of spring clean, not just un-install them from my phone) and its a slow frustrating process doing it from my phone within the play store app. Every time I delete an app from the phones playstore 'My Apps' list I'm brought back to the top of the list and I have to patiently scroll down to where I had left off, and its now even alphabetical sorted. I used to be able to do this more easily from my PC by browsing all my android apps and clicking on the little trash can icon embedded on the app icon. But now this has been removed!!
Google why are you making this more difficult than it need be or used to be?????? :crying: in frustration.
Does anyone know how you can easily drop apps from your phone and the Playstore 'My Apps' list without going mad?
I don't believe there is an easier way. You could start at the bottom and work your way to the top. I know how frustrating it is.

Aha got my answer from another forum called Phandroid. Thanks to the guys there, its actually really easy. All you have to do on your mobile is go into your 'All' tab in your 'My apps' within the playstore app and long press on the non-greyed out apps. You can multi-select and then delete mulitple apps, cleans out all the installation history. Brilliant, not too obvious though!
First off, apologies if this question has already been asked and answered, I didn't know what to search for.
Is there an app that you can sort of bookmark other apps on the Play Store? So that in the future when I buy a new phone or wipe my current ones, I can just download the one app and then that app will either download and install the others, or at least give me a easy to use list that links to the app page and then knows when it has been installed.
I know this may come across lazy but I'm a forgetful person, and I don't always remember to redownload all the premium keys or security software I use.
Thank you all very much in advance
You can use AppBrain \ Titanium backup for this. For TB, I label them as important and when I get a new phone, I just need to restore them.
PlayStore has Library menu to track what app you have installed in current device.
Open PlayStore > Slide to menu > My Apps & Games > Slide right to Library.
