You can't as far as I know. The Windows Store is a mess.
Would be nice to NOT have a list of everything you've ever downloaded from the Store.

The My Apps page shows all the apps that you ever installed on any device you signed-in to with your Microsoft account. Unfortunately, you cannot remove apps from this list, at least not yet.
