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!

If one more person says "just uninstall it and it will be hidden away.." I feel like I might lose my mind. It's clear what people are asking for and that is to have the ability to remove the app completely so their interface isn't cluttered up with **** they don't ever want to see again. There are apps that I uninstall and will install again later; The "uninstalled" section would be great for that except that the "uninstalled" section is so cluttered up with junk that I it's unusable.
There should absolutely be a way to either hide or to remove an app from your account.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why would you want to permanently remove all the demos and clutter in your library that you will never use again?

Please at least set the installed filter as default.

Why at facebook do not want us to erase for good the applications acquired for free or demo? Everyone wants to have the choice to erase what they no longer want and given the price we pay for this toy and all the money we give them every day he could at least make the effort of us listen and create this ridiculous update for them for us the people who keep the company alive.

Deleting titles isn't a hard feature to add. The amount of apps stacked on my home screen is ridiculous. It really worsen the expirence.

PLEASE do something about this, good God, I hate having these deleted apps included in my list. Yes, I know you can filter them, but urrgh! It's such a tiny fix that bothers SO many people and would be such an amazing QOL improvement! Thank you for reading!!

I just got my Quest 2 a few weeks ago, love the device, not the UI. I, being a new user, accidently clicked GET on an app, but never installed. Now its just sitting on my home screen forevermore, not to mention all the Demos I downloaded to "try before I buy". Should have just gone with the Valve Hardware and used my PC. Disappointed!

This is not an answer to this issue
We want to get rid of things completely, not have to look at them forever. -

Jimmy, you need to set this request to "incomplete" the inquisitor whom asked this question clearly stated, "I would like to remove the demo from my library" Your "explanation/answer" explains how to uninstall an app, not remove an app or demo from your personal library. When the quest 2 boots it defaults to the all section of your library, not the installed section. This means anyone who downloads 50+ demos will forever have their library flooded with games and demos they no longer wish to look at.

Basic functionality of deleting an app not even present on quest 2. Very disappointing.

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.

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.
