How do I delete the apps from the App History tab? With the exception of "Google Chrome", I hardly use any of the listed apps...and there are several applications I use regularly which don't appear at all (like Paint and Visual Studio 2013). I've definitely NOT opened "Maps" and "Sound Recorder" for more than 3 months and that was just testing out the new laptop. When I click "Delete usage history", the list does not change.
I'd like the App History tab to actually work...or to remove the tab altogether. Thanks!

"How do I delete the apps from the App History tab?"
The App History tab shows the total resources used by apps since Windows was installed or since the last time the usage history was deleted.
"There are several applications I use regularly which don't appear at all (like Paint and Visual Studio 2013"
To display usage for all processes:
- "Options" > "Show history for all processes"
"When I click "Delete usage history", the list does not change."
It did change, by clearing the history data to 0 as shown in your screenshot. This is the intended behaviour. See below for more information.

By default, the App History tab will only display usage for modern
Windows 8 apps. To get the most use from this tab, click or tap
"Options" and select "Show history for all processes."

How to Clear your App History Data
When viewing your app history data, it can be difficult to discern how
quickly your apps are racking up network usage. You may see that
Netflix has used gigs of data, but if that’s over a long period that
may not be so bad. However, if it’s only been a few minutes since data
logging began, you’re in trouble.
If you want to clear your data and start counting again from zero, go
ahead and click or tap "Delete usage history."

All of your recorded history will be deleted and all columns will be
zeroed out. With careful monitoring you can now see how quickly your
heavy users chew up data.
