Deleting apps from iTunes install/remove list?

Is it possible to remove an app from the install/remove list in iTunes?

If so, how can it be done? If not, then Apple please change the iTunes software to remove an app from this list when it's hidden in the iTunes account. What's the point of hiding it in the iTunes account if it remains on the install/remove list?

1 - I know how to delete apps from an iPhone/iPad (lots of posts address this)

2 - I know how to hide/unhide apps for an iTunes account (lots of posts address this)

But how can it be removed from the list install/remove in iTunes? The screen shot below shows the list and the blue circle is an example, Adobe Ideas app, that still shows up on the list after being deleted from all devices (iPhone and iPad) associated with the iTunes account and hidden within the iTunes account.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

That list of apps is populated from the My Apps section of that iTunes library - if you go to the My Apps section of your library (similar to how you view the My Music section of your library), select/highlight the apps that you no longer want, and delete them, they should disappear from My Apps and from that listbox

('If not, then Apple please change the iTunes software' - Apple are not here, these are user-to-user forums.)

Thank you... was able to get there and delete the app from your instruction.

For others that need this help... here's what the screen looks like (iTunes 12) after selecting Apps from the drop down on the top left when in the local library. You can select and hit the delete key or right click and select delete.
