You can view the apps you purchased using your Apple ID in the Purchased list on any of your Mac computers. If you don’t want certain apps to appear in that list, you can hide them. You can also uninstall apps that you no longer need.

How

Which is why human App Reviewers ensure that the apps on the App Store adhere to our strict app review standards. Our App Store Review Guidelines require apps to be safe, provide a good user experience, comply with our privacy rules, secure devices from malware and threats, and use approved business models.

  • Tap and hold the app you want to delete. The apps will begin to jiggle. Tap the X on the app. From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps. Click the app you want to delete. Press Delete on your keyboard.
  • Hmm - the App Store reads spotlight and your index has found an application bundle matching that app identifier. One of those answers had a step to rebuild your spotlight database. That will let you know if a filesystem contains that app. – bmike ♦ Dec 30 '12 at 21:59.
