Do you ever feel the need to check or delete your purchase history on Google Play Store? Well, it’s easier than you might think. Checking your purchase history on the current version of Google Play Store is simple. You just need to click on the icon at the top, hit payments and subscriptions, then budget and history, and voila! There’s your purchase history.
However, unlike your browser search history, you cannot delete your purchase history. Your Google account needs this history to keep track of what you’ve paid for and what you own. But if you ever bought something weird on a whim and want to remove the evidence of that weirdness, there isn’t much you can do other than not buying weird stuff on that account. There’s no deleting it from the history once it’s there.
If you want to keep your account uncluttered from unused apps, there is one thing you can do. Head on over to manage apps and device, where you can uninstall any app that’s already on your device. If you click the installed filter and change your selection to not installed, you’ll be able to see every single app you’ve ever downloaded from the Play Store that isn’t currently installed on your device. Select any or as many of these as you like and click the trash can icon, and after a confirmation prompt, those items will be deleted from your app history.
Unfortunately, there’s no “select all” option here, so you’ll have to remove each app one by one. If you want to get rid of your actual purchase history, the only option is to delete your entire Google account.
We hope that this information has helped anyone who has been looking into this question. Remember, you cannot delete your purchase history, but you can at least remove the clutter from your backlog of uninstalled apps.
