Ability to remove titles from library
I’ve somehow ended up with both the Beat Saber demo and full version. I’d quite like to remove the demo from my library, but I can’t!

As noted below, if you hover over an app’s tile in your library and click the three dots in the bottom right corner, you can select uninstall. This will move the item from the Apps section of your library to the Not Installed section. The Not Installed area hosts all the apps that you have purchased or downloaded previously, but are no longer downloaded and installed on your device. Utilizing this uninstall feature should allow you to remove the Beat Saber demo from the Apps section and only have the full version of Beat Saber listed there. Hope this helps!

I wouldn't care about this if we could at least default the list to "installed". But it keeps switching to All, so I'm constantly being shown the stuff I've uninstalled and don't want any more. Some kind of option to either get rid of it completely, or just hide it from the default view, would make this whole thing more interesting. I don't want to keep getting the demos of apps I've purchased listed in with everything else, it's a really stupid inclusion that doesn't help in any way.

Oculus Quest Support: Please mark this request as incomplete. As the message thread shows, you unfortunately have not completed this request to your customers' satisfaction. We don't want to see uninstalled apps in our libraries. Please resolve soonest. Thanks!

As a new Quest 2 user, I installed several free apps, big mistake now I'm stuck looking at them forever. I'll not be downloading anymore free or demo apps in the future

Bogus that this is marked as "completed" when it's clearly not. You cannot remove an app from your library, you can only uninstall it. Now that the Quest constantly switches you to ALL apps, the apps that aren't installed but still in your library are the first thing you see every time you open your apps. It's annoying. At least change that part back. You can remove things from your Library on Rift, so I don't see what the issue is here.

I second and third all the comments regarding inability to fully removing and deleting any mention of uninstalled apps. Its utterly ridiculous and pointless, unless your point was to infuriate your customers.

Even if the home environment defaulted to “installed apps” instead of “all apps”, I’d be happy.

Agreed, please add the ability to hide apps so the only way you could ever see them is via a "Hidden Apps" page.

three days after getting my quest2 and i am searching high and low looking for any way to delete unwanted apps PERMANENTLY. all this does is make me seriously think twice before ever trying a new app! paid ones included.

Moving the app to "Not Installed" is not the desired behavior being requested from this suggestion. Now with App Lab (and "All" being the forced default filter) it's more important than ever to have the ability to remove the clutter from your app list.

I agree with everyone else. We need to be able to completely remove these old apps from sight.

This issue is not completed. Uninstalling is not what we're asking for. My nephew keeps installing demos for games I have the full version of. Somehow he sees the demos before he sees the full one. I want to remove those titles from my library. I don't want to see them in "All apps" and i don't want to see them in "not installed"

I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of my quest because I can't get rid of uninstalled apps, they drive me to distraction, Oculus wake up and smell the coffee, we want to be able to get rid of all this clutter.

Like EV E R Y B O D Y else and I mean not a single person agrees with this stupid "you can hide then, but the setting will not remain" nonsense of yours. We want to D E L E T E apps like demons, which are, by their respective nature M E A N T to be D E LE T E D, after trying them and N O O N E wants them to remain on the device, please change this weird and rediculous nonsense!!

Would be better if we had a library folder with all purchased apps, and the apps tab just had the installed apps in it!

+1 on why can't we remove items from the library completely? I get that it can be useful to leave some uninstalled items in the library by default as I could fill the device's storage up, need to remove an app yes still want a reminder of the app hanging around should I want to come back to it at a later date but I've had my Quest 2 for just 48 hours and the library is already full of junk that I downloaded to have a look at just to see what my new toy was capable of and have no real interest in ever using again. Having these items that I don't ever want to revisit hanging around is quickly going to render my library unusable.

You can improve the PPP latform by listening to your customers. Add the ability to completely remove titles from our library. How many times do you need to hear that? Do it or continue looking like slow to reacted morons. This has been requested for over 2 years! Fauk!

HELLOOOOOOO OCULUS CAN YOU HEAR US???
Apparently not. Let us remove the clutter. And NOT have to resort the Library every time. All I want to see are the apps I'm wanting to keep. EVER. That free thing you let us download? And we checked it out, it was kinda cool, huh, thanks. Well, I want it out of my sight forever. Why not give us that ability???
The more I learn about Oculus the more I yearn for (and will pay for) something better, from someone else. When the competition comes, Oculus will learn how their nincompoopery affects the relationship with their customers. Yeah .. they will have far fewer.
Get real, Oculus. Listen to the people.
