Can't delete tracks from iCloud

I'm trying to delete tracks from my iCloud instance.
In iTunes, I delete from my library all of the tracks that I want removed from iCloud. A pop-up dialogue asks if I would like to remove these tracks from iCloud as well. I select the checkbox to indicate yes I do want. The tracks are then visibly removed from my local iTunes library. The next time iTunes Match runs, however, these tracks are re-populated in my iTunes library, as being matched in iCloud.
Obviously I am missing some nuanced step in this process. Any hints?
If it helps, I'd be perfectly happy to have my entire iCloud library deleted, and start fresh.
Note: I am not deleting the files themselve from the filesystem, just trying to remove their entry in my iTunes library.

Solved.
My problem is a duplicate of https://discussions.apple.com/message/16988521#16988521
Solution: delete tracks in groups <900, and be patient.

How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

I downloaded some free iBooks. After I read them, I clicked "delete" and a dialog box said they are deleted from my computer but remain in iCloud and can be downloaded later. But I want to delete them from iCloud as well as from my computer. How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

You cannot delete them form icloud.
Icloud is a service that allows redownloading of past purchases. That is the point.

How can I delete devices from icloud account?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Simply turn off "find my phone" and delete the iCloud account from your device.

Updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer.

I updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer. My phone has also been freezing regularly since I updated.

The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
Now- "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com. If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it. (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album. Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored. Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another. Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

I can't delete music from icloud

Hi, i have a big problem. I want to delete all my music in the cloud. I have 3k music and all track are ine the cloud (itunes match). When i delete music i mark 'deletemin the cloud too'. Music dissapears from itunes but are still in my ipad and iphone (all tracks from deleted library, there is cloud icon). How i can delete music in the cloud? I want to start from nothing, when i rip cd (first album in a blank library) and itunes match starts there are show all deleted tracks. Can apple support can reset my itunes match account or something?
Sorry for my english...

Wow, thanks a million! This worked.
Looks like the library got screwed up and disabling iTunes Match with the option key pressed forced it to flush the cache or something. After doing this I was able to remove those albums and also edit tags of music that has already been uploaded to iCloud, which is another thing that didn't work before. I just didn't complain about it, because I read somewhere that this was by purpose.
Also, I was thinking of glueing down my option key so it's always pressed. I can't believe how many undocumented features it hides. Want to choose another library for iTunes or iPhoto? Keep alt pressed. Want to delete a song from iTunes while you're in a playlist? Keep alt pressed, and there's many more. Googling for "option key mac hidden features" actually brought up a few more interesting ones.

Can't delete pictures from iCloud

I can't delete video's or photo's from my iCloud photo's. They keep coming back! Has anyone else had this problem?

Its photos on iCloud Photo Library (Beta) Thanks
But how are you trying to delete the photos? From the https://www.icloud.com/#photos webpage, or from your iPhone or iPad?
Are all you devices on the same iOS version?
For me, deleting from iCloud Photo Library Beta is working well, but all my devices are using the same iOS 8 version.

How can i delete pictures from iCloud?

i need to delete some pictures from my icloud back up, but i can find a way to do it , can someone show me how to, with out erasing the whole back up?

The Photostream is a really nice new feature with iCloud. However, it isn't perfect. My main issue with it is that there is no way to control what gets synced to your other devices. For instance, every image that gets shot with or saved to your iPhone, goes right to the Photostream. Once on the Photostream, it goes directly to my other devices. Sometimes, I save a photo to my camera roll, or take a screen shot, and sometimes I shoot a really bad photo that is too dark or all blurry. I usually delete these from my camera roll, but that has no effect on what gets sent to the Photostream. Once an image hits the camera roll, it automatically goes to the Photostream. This is an issue when I go to my other devices, such as my Macbook Pro and Aperture, where it automatically shows up on my Photostream there, and worse, if I have it set to automatically import, those (unwanted) images go right into Aperture. Of course I can delete them there, but it all makes for extra work. At the same time, I guess I don't have to keep the Photostream on, but that solves nothing and then doesn't give me access to my photos in the cloud.
I'd like to see an option that would allow you to pick and choose what gets sent to the Photostream. That way, I could shoot pictures with my iPhone, go through them, delete the ones I don't want, and then beam the ones I do want to keep to the Photostream. This would be much more logical and efficient for someone like me.
I may be in the minority on that, and I do see positives to having everything go to the Photostream automatically in that sometimes you delete an image that you then want back, and this does give you an instant backup mechanism, even if only during the duration of the 1000 photo limit (which is more than enough to make a decision on individual photos).
The system isn't perfect though, because for every lousy and unwanted photo that goes to my Photostream, it is potentially kicking out a great and wanted image. All-in-all, I keep my master images in Aperture stored on an external drive, and then backed up on multiple other drives, so it isn't as though I'm losing any images, but still... I guess you can't really treat the Photostream like an album. It is a fleeting album if anything. 1000 images is a lot, but I think it would be better if Apple increased that amount.
Anyway, all food for thought.

HT4915 ios 7.0.2 song library is 1390 songs which is correct however 1405 is count on itouch & ipad extra songs are dupes i can't delete just from icloud? any suggestions? ios 7.0.2 is horrible

instrx from delete from icloud doesn't work if the song you want to delete is not in your library (duplicate songs were deleted long ago. these songs do no appear on older ios versions

You will need to purchase the upgrade CD for 10.6 from the Apple Online store, OR you can likely get one at an Apple Retail Store. It is the last version that was available on CD. After 10.6, the upgrades are available in the Mac App Store.
HTH

HT204074 Don't have iTunes Match so apparently I can't delete music from iCloud?

How do I delete songs from the iCloud when I don't use Music Match? Somehow, songs I don't want just automatically add themselves to my iPhone after I've manually added only songs I want to be on it... One particular song (I purchased by mistake) is no longer my iTunes library but keeps being added back.
Please Help!!!

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide songs so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for redownloading (that also hide them from the Music app if you have Settings > Music > Show All Music 'on') : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
(For info you've posted in the Using iPad forum.)

Can iTunes delete tracks from Playlist + FROM IPOD ITSELF?

Hello,
i'm pretty a newbie when it comes to iPod and iTunes. Haveing a nano and seen this problem today: I organize all my tracks in Folders on my HDD and drag the folders to the Playlist Bar, so i make a playlist of a complete folder. Then i drag the playlist on the ipod so i gat the same content on my nano as in the original folder on the harddrive. Now sometimes i want to delete some songs inside a playlist off the ipod (for example from a playlist with mixed single tracks, not albums). But when i delete a track out of the playlist, it still maintains on the iPod. Can i make Itunes delete the song automatically off my ipod when i remove it from a playlist? the way it is now i would have to see in the playlists, what tracks i want to delete and then go through the unsorted list with the tracks and delete the tracks by hand....

I am using manual playlist, not this autofill feature. could you please explain this a little bit more in detail? wehre to uncheck the tracks, on the ipod playlist or on my local playlists on the left side of itunes?
I dont know if you got me the right way. I am having a large playlist with a load of tracks. from this playlist, i would like to be able to delete tracks, but not only the playlist entry, also the files should be deleted from the ipod?

Can't delete songs from iCloud

I recently deleted 100+ songs from my PC. When I went to sync my iphone, all of the songs remained on my phone. I also have itunes match, and wifi sync enabled on both devices. Still, all the songs remain on my phone.
If I turn off itunes match on my phone, the song placement is just random, I don't even know how it's sorting what to put on my phone, but just a random 50% of them are there. So that doesn't work at all.
In iTunes on my PC, If I click "On this iPhone" all of the songs are there. If I go to my music library on my PC, only the songs I need are there. I have tried syncing, restarting, (everything is updated) called apple care a couple times (I lost the call halfway so never got to finish) but it was nothing that they could fix in a 10 minute period. Any ideas?

1)delete those 100 songs from the folder on your pc NOT itunes
2)plug in iphone and sync
3) in itunes find those 100 songs, sort by the cloud icon to make this easier...
4) right click on them and delete them.... another box will appear... Do you want to HIDE these items from icloud aswell? CLICK YES

Can't Delete Folder from iCloud?

I downloaded a program from the app store to my iPhone called Documents 5 (produced by a company named Readdle). The program placed a folder on my iCloud account titled Documents, with the app's logo on it. I decided that I would not use the program so I deleted it from my phone. I also deleted the folder from my iCloud drive using the Finder view on my desktop (drug and dropped it into the trash-- emptied the trash, and the folder was gone). I noticed, however, that when I logged into iCloud from a browser, and then went into my iCloud drive the folder was still there. I could find no way to delete it like other folders. In short, something is preventing me from deleting this useless folder. I looked in the drive using finder on my desktop and there it was again. I contacted Readdle and asked them how to remove the folder, and they told me at this point there is absolutely no way to remove it from my iCloud drive. The folder was self-generated by the app when I installed it and used it on my phone. Is there truly no way to delete this?
iMac running 10.10.1 Yosemite
iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.1

Apparently there isn't, at least not at this time. This issue has been reported by others as well and there is no solution at this time.

Can't delete event from iCloud

I had a recurring event in one of my iCloud calendars. No matter what I do -- on iCloud or from within iCal -- from deleting each event manually to deleting all at the very beginning and all Future Events, it won't delete. It keeps coming back. The only calendars I have are iCloud -- nothing from Google or computer-only.
Is there a way to force delete an event?

I don't know if this is the same for others who have this problem, but in my case, the stuck event was one that I was invited to by someone else.
I'm not entirely sure I fixed it, but I might have -- while I couldn't edit most of the fields of the event (and get them to stick), I could move it to a different calendar, so I created a dummy calendar, moved it there, and then deleted the calendar. So far, the event from **** hasn't come back...
Good luck!

Delete books from iCloud

I tried to delete old books from iBooks. Instead I ended up with multiple copies in the cloud....how can I delete them.

You can't delete them from iCloud as they are permanently kept on your purchased list. However, if you tap Collections, then tap Books (rather than Purchased Books), you should only see the books you haven't deleted on your bookshelf.
