Delete app permanently

2nd try, Apple Support? deleted my first post , as they think it exceeded the Terms, I've gotta disagree having just reread them in detail.
So, to business.
I have trialed a lot of free apps that I wish to remove from the phone & itunes permanently, from everywhere, no reference left at all.
I have read many posts about removing apps but the 'purchase' history is left behind, not good enough, I want everything gone, including history, I need to know how to remove this rubbish history.
Every other piece of software I have ever bought for any device allowed me to uninstall it completely so I can divine no reason not to provide this feature.
I know about the 'ability to reload purchases' stuff but these app's were free so this is irrelevant.  Even if they were paid for surely it is my right to remove them completely fully understanding that if required again I will need to buy them again.

And what would you like us users to do for you?

    How do I get deleted apps off my phone permanently. I deleted it but when I go to application icon then update and hit purchase I still see the apps I deleted with a cloud and a downward arrow. Is there a way to get that off your phone.

    but they will forever be tied to your appleID so you can redownload them for free there is no way around that but they are not taking up storage or anything when they live in purchase

  • HT1977 how do i delete apps permanently from my icloud?

    i want to know how to delete apps i no longer want from  my icloud. i have deleted them from my iphone but they are still in my icloud and i want them gone instead of taking up space i could use for other things.

    If you are talking about wanting to delete your purchase history, that has never been an option.  You used to be able to hide them on your phone but that option did seem to be removed with iOS 6.  You can still hide them on your computer though (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919), and perhaps syncing after doing so will also hide them on your phone; not sure.

  • How to delete apps permanently when changing Apple ID?

    I understand this question has been asked before, but I think my situation is slightly different and I think solutions to other threads probably won't apply.
    I have been using an iPhone 4 and recently bought a iPhone 4S.  I also got a new Apple ID.  Not so I could keep both of them running, but because I moved back home and needed to change countries (no longer "brit abroad").
    I know I could have changed countries on my old Apple ID, but I wanted to start afresh with a new everything (email address, Apple ID, phone) and I didn't want my old purchases popping up on my new phone, being that they would be on my old ID and that they were all free anyway, so I could easily download new versions from the new store.
    The problem is I have signed out of the App Store and De-authorised my computer for my old ID, but my old apps are still there.  What I basically want is a clean iTunes to start again with my new ID.
    Should I uninstall and reinstall iTunes?
    Should I delete the apps one by one in iTunes?
    Should I delete the apps from the 'Mobile Applications' folder?
    Will any (or a combination of any) of these actually get rid of them for good?
    Thanks in advance
    Dan

    I don't know if I am understanding you correctly, but just go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage, then go to the app you want to delete, tap on edit, then Delete All.

    Are you syncing with iTunes?
    If so, then you must mark the Apps that you have deleted in iTunes to not reload. If this isn't done they will return after a sync.

    how do you permanently delete apps from all your mac products (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone)

    They are not taking up storage space.  Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can.  This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
    It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

  • How can I permanently delete apps from iCloud on my child's iPad

    Up front, I'd like to say that this question has nothing to do with storage space - rather, it's about deleting apps, for parenting reasons, the iCloud. 
    We wish to permanently remove select apps from our child's iPad.  We cant seem to do this - while they are not active on the home screen, by going into itunes or the App Store, they can simply be downloaded again without our knowledge or consent.
    Are there any provisions for parental controls over the iCloud?
    Thanks.

    By going to settings - general - restrictions - parental controls can be setup to limit the age appropriate content including apps. By hiding those apps on your computer you may be able to change their visibility as well, but I haven't had a chance to check it - try it yourself if you want.

  • Is there any way that you can delete APPS that come on the iPad? For example, the stock app, can you delete that or is it permanently on there?

    Is there any way that you can delete APPS that come on the iPad 2 when you buy it? For example, the stock app, can you delete that or is it permanently on there?

    You cannot delete the preinstalled apps on the iPad. You can check by tapping and holding down on the icon until it wiggles. If no X appears, you cannot delete it.
    Move it to another screen or bury it in a folder called" Stuff I don't Want"

  • How to permanently delete apps in iTunes?

    I can't permanently delete my apps in itunes. I tried to click my iphone > Apps >
    It sends me to the a list of all the apps I've purchesed, and if I'd deleted it, it says install, and if I hadn't it says remove. There is no permanent delete option. Nothing happens when I right click or press the delete key in my keyboard. I really need your help because my phone's memory is being full.

    Hey there comealongpie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I gather, your’e trying to free up some storage space on your iPhone using iTunes on your PC, and you're concerned because apps aren't being deleted from iTunes on your PC. Take a look at the article linked below which clarifies the process of syncing and organizing apps on your iOS device using iTunes.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    Also, take a look at this article which will walk you through the process of deleting apps from the device itself.

    Cheers,
