You CAN delete Apps from your Amazon list! :)
I just spotted this in the Amazon help section:

Thanks for the info, Filark! I know what you mean about the Free App of the Day. I often "Save" the current app without installing it, "just in case". It wasn't on my eDGe, but when another of my Android devices mysteriously started running out of app space, I eventually noticed that the Amazon Appstore app had swollen to 68MB! It seems to store some data in the app partition (why??) I cleared the app's cache and data and reclaimed tons of space. Whew!

I cannot get this to work. I deleted a bunch of apps via PC browser, but they all still show-up in Amazon AppStore/MyAccount on both PEs. Second try from PC but there were only a couple left that I wanted to delete as the previously deleted ones were not there to re-delete; still the original long list on both PEs. Tried deleting a couple more directly from my PE browser but the AppStore is still listing every app I've ever installed (most of which were uninstalled almost immediately).
Any thoughts? Filark? |

Eeeek! I didn't try it, couldn't decide which apps I for sure would never want.
Have you shut down your PE after? Could it be local phantom storage?? I can see I will have to experiment! Sorry CharlieBird, I thought it looked fool-proof -- more fool me, eh? Edit: Okay, I tried it. Deleted an app using my PC, then went to the Amazon App Store on my PE. As you said, the app was there in my list when I first pulled it up. However, after I hit Refresh at the top of the My Apps page (and waited for the spinning to stop -- took a long time!) the app was gone from my list. Whew! Last edited by Filark; 08-06-2012 at 02:20 AM. Reason: Result of experiment. ;) |

Just noticed your edit, Filark. Refresh just spins around saying "checking for new apps" and upon stopping the same "deleted" ones are still listed. Had a thought though, may be it has to do w/the fact I'm running an old version (1.15) of the Appstore app. Which version do you have installed? I remember some months back installing the new version and hating it and reverting to the previous version. In truth, the whole problem is negligible because I seldom visit Amazon's store and seldom install a new app from any of them. Pretty content w/what I have. Still, always trying most everything folks here are posting about. Thx, Filark. |

Could be the version. I have 2 point something.
I hardly ever install new apps, but I keep collecting them . . . just in case! |

Installing the update of the Appstore app I recalled one of the things that irritated me about it—it's huge! 8.6M compared to 1.3M for ver. 1.5. It's bigger than the Mantano Reader!
Anyway I did get the deleted apps to vanish w/the refresh key. Thanks again, Filark. |
