Users who prefer not to be pestered by redundant notifications or want to conceal their shopping on Purchases page can hide the item purchased in the Mac App Store. Here are the tips and tricks on how to hide purchases in Mac App Store.

Once you download or purchase an app or game on MacOS and iOS, the title continues to stay incessantly with you in a dedicated Purchased section. However, some developers retire certain apps. When that happens, the best thing to do is that you take away the trash.

How to Hide Purchases in Mac App Store

First, launch the Mac App Store on your Mac. You can launch it either from the Launchpad or menu bar or from the Dock. After that, wait for the store to refresh properly as soon as it launches. Next is to select the Purchased tab located at the top and wait for it to fully refresh.

The next step is to locate the download or purchase you wish to hide. Once located, right-click and select on Hide Purchase. The process to hide purchases in Mac App Store is very simple. It would have been better if there is an option available to select multiple apps at the same time to hide them.

On the other hand, if you have hidden something accidentally, there is still a way to recover it. Even though the game or app may not be seen in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store, you can still look for it at the store and download it again. According to Wccftech, the re-download will be free of charge, since you have already paid for it in during your first purchase. One way to keep things neat is to remove old purchases which in time clutter our device.
