I deleted these apps from my MacBook Air because I am trying to save the space. I already have MS Office so I don't need these. I deleted them and as soon as I logged on again it wants to download them again. How do I delete them permanently?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Here is what my screen looks like. When I Control-click on the More link it just expandss the description. This is also weird becusae I no longer even have these applications on my Mac.
And, just to clarify, this is a 2010 MacBook Air with the latest version of Mavericks.
Ok once last thing I can think of to try for now.
Normal click on the More link to expand the description. Then once the description is expanded (at least on my system) I can control-click anywhere in the description and get the Hide Update link.
Finally, and I have to ask, when you control click you are first pressing the control key and while keeping that depressed you click the track pad. Also do you have any 3rd party trackpad software installed? Or anything strange with the trackpad preferences?
Again just trying to cover all bases here.

Try re-indexing Spotlight.
Eric glad you jumped in. Are you able to hide updates, assuming you are running 10.9?
Also what leads you to think spotlight might be keeping the OP from hiding the updates in the App Store?
curious

Done. And that seemed to have worked. My MacBook now says I have no updates avaialble. Never did the Control-click thing to work, but apprarently now at least it knows I no longer have that software installed. Thanks!
And thank you Frank for all your efforts.
I can hide updates using the control - click option except for Apple programs. For some reason they seem to resist being hidden some times.
I suggested the Spotlight re-index because the OP stated the programs were no longer on the computer. As far as I know it will not hide an update if the program is still on the computer.
You are welcome.
How do I get rid of Pages, Keynote and Numbers?
