How can I remove an app from wishlist? I clicked the add to wishlist button by mistake.. I'm looking for this but i can't find, is there a way?

I tried to unistall the app, search in the app page and others places like the wishlist itself.

If you go into the play store item that you added to your wishlist and click the same icon that you used to add it to the wishlist it should remove it.

But the button is now the share button, there's no more that flag – Markissimo Nov 2 '12 at 13:58
@Markissimo The method is same. Play Store has issues regarding this. Contact Google. – Sachin Shekhar Nov 3 '12 at 0:10
This method worked for me. I did have to reopen the wishlist, but not play store, for the item to be gone. – dpn982 Nov 7 '12 at 20:37

Well, i couldn't resolve my problem but after contacting Google's support here some potencial answers for some users.

Clean Google Play and Download Manager Cache

For Google Play:

  1. Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
  2. Tab over to "All"
  3. Select the Play Store app, and then tap "Clear cache" and "Clear data"

For the Download manager:

  1. Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
  2. Tab over to "All"
  3. Select "Download manager," and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"

Unistall updates from Google play

  1. Go to "Home" > "Menu" > "Settings" > "Applications" > "Manage applications"
  2. Touch the "All" tab
  3. Scroll down and select the Play Store app
  4. Touch "Uninstall updates"

This will revert Google Play to the original version that came with your device. Google Play should automatically self-update to the current version within a few days - there's no way to permanently uninstall updates. However, you can perform the following steps to ensure the latest version of Google Play is updated properly:

  1. Launch Google Play
  2. Switch to the Home screen
  3. Wait 5-10 minutes for the app to self-update
  4. Re-launch the Google Play Store app

After that the support couldn't help me anymore..

I believe my problem is a bug, so maybe in future versions it'll be fixed, anyway when I accomplish this, I'll post here.

EDIT: Google Play Store updated to 3.10.9 and now each wishlist item has like a remove icon besides it, so you click there and it's removed! Nice and easy.
