Ubuntu – Cannot uninstall software from Software Center

software-center

I am using Ubuntu 11.10. When I open the Software Center and click Installed on the toolbar all I get is a list down the left hand side with games, graphics, internet etc.

It does not show any software that has been previously installed.

How can I uninstall software from the Software Center?
