Not chrome Playbook, log into Google Play, you can remove apps from there.

The webpage version of the shop doesnt have this function and as far as i remember it was a pain in the a** even on the play app to delete apps out of your history. Seems google is not interested in this feature....

I just checked around on Google. I also looked back through CB and found a post telling how to fully delete Android apps which may help you fully delete them.

You should be able to delete them in Snap as you would in BBW- Hold and delete. You will also need to do this:

(credit to @bermie2000)
"For me, it was simple enough to delete the android app, like with native BlackBerry apps, BUT, when I restarted, the app had come back. Then I realized the app file itself also needs to be deleted or it reinstalls on a reboot. (delete from file manager, default dir is device/downloads)"

So, maybe doing the second part is all you need. If you delete the app file it's gone. Hope this helps!

Lovin' my Z10!

If it really annoys you that much you could use androidx86 to run a android system in a virtual box or from usb stick. Then use the original Google play app to remove those titles from the list.

Since they are android apps that cannot be deleted from Google Play at this time, there is not going
to be a way to remove them from the available tab in Snap. Simply put, Snap has no control over Google Play.

It works fine with the native app store app, but you cant run this on a bb10 device so you need a real android device or atleast something like this:
Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86

Yes it is possible, load an android emulator on your home computer and set up same account. It will sync. Then delete them. I did it. It works.
