Mouse across the list of purchases to the app you want to remove from that list. Click the X that appears next to the app status. Should be on the far right. If you have actually deleted the app by trashing it, and it's an app that you purchased, then it should show up in purchased apps list, with an Install button. The delete X should appear to the left of that button when you mouse down to that app in the list. You can remove any Purchased app from that list - or all of your apps, BTW, the App Store will NOT actually remove an app if it is still actually installed. All you can do on that window is delete the item in the Purchased list.

Free Utilities for Writers There are also a number of free online utilities for writers. Like Scrivener, it is designed for long-form writing, and includes a cork board, inline notes (including to-dos), project timelines, and outlines. (beta) allows you to organize your writing in research in a way that makes sense to you. It features a drag-and-drop outline of the sections of your novel, and detailed statistics and word count goals.

It will no longer appear, until you View your Account, and click the Reset Purchases (or whatever that button says) BTW, the proper method to uninstall a purchased from your Mac, is to use the Launchpad. Click and hold your app in Launchpad, until it shakes - then click the X near that app icon. The app will then be correctly removed (uninstalled). So, the sequence is: Remove using Launchpad.

Then, remove the app entry in the App Store Purchased items list.

What to do when OS X asks for an old Apple ID. Log in with the new user’s Apple ID in the Mac App Store, you’re still prompted for updates or downloads using the old user’s login identity. Newly upgraded to Latest released OS X - El Capitan (10.11.5). Now when I open App Store app, the spinning wheel to right of buttons on upper left side continues to spin with no content visible below on any tab button. Originally, I saw that 1-update was available.
