Update Available for an App That I Uninstalled / Never Intend to Use Again

WPCentral Question

So I have Windows Phone 8 on a Lumia 520.

OS Version 8.0.10517.150

When my phone was new (~ 1 year ago) I tried out a number of different apps and wound up uninstalling many of them.

For the past several days the Windows Phone "Store" app has been presenting me with an "Update Available" for one of the apps I tried out & no longer use / never intend to use again (i.e. an app which was uninstalled long ago).

This seems like ODD behaviour to me; I think I should be alerted when updates are available for apps which are actually installed on my phone.

Anyway, to get the update off my list, it seems like I am being forced to reinstall the app (the updated version). I'd really just like a way to say "thanks for letting me know, but 'no thanks ... that app & I parted company long ago'".

Any comments?

Store notifications on 8.0 was a slight mess....so don't bother about that... You can upgrade to Lumia cyan....windows 8.1...and I gurantee you will be impressed by the improvements....believe me..
