Deleted apps are shown in AppStore

I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7. The thing that annoys me is the apps that deleted long time ago are appearing in the AppStore icon (with a cloud kinda icon to be downloaded again). I don't want these apps to be shown up there and is there any ways to delete it? Help me on that guys. It really annoys me and I don't want others to figure out what apps that I used to have and what I have deleted recently.

I found these directions (to permanently hide past purchases/downloads in the app store/itunes history):
1. Upgrade your version of iTunes to the newest version.  (idk if this really matters...I had to download itunes onto a new tablet anyway)
2. Click on iTunes Store in the lefthand column of iTunes and log in to your account.
3. Find "Purchased" in the Quick Links menu on the right hand side of the Store home page. Click on it.
4. You should see a list of your downloaded apps on the screen. Mouse over any app that you wish to delete. A small "x" in a round circle will appear in the top left corner of the app icon. Click the "x".
5. A notification will pop up telling you that your purchased app will now be hidden and how you can un-hide it in the future. Click OK. The app will disappear from your purchase history in iTunes and all associated iOS devices instantly. Verify this on your iOS device by navigating to your purchase history in the App Store.
I just tried this, and it worked.  I was able to hide a few past downloads that are no longer used or wanted.
Now that Apple got a huge court settlement, they should use that money to create a way for us to permanently delete past purchases/downloads.

    If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
    If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
    You must go through the iTunes app store.

  • CC still thinks deleted apps are on my computer

    Creative cloud thinks Audition and Premier are on my computer; however, I deleted them long ago. Now I need to use Audition but can't. I'm on OSX Mavericks. Thanks!

  • No apps are shown

    I have an mac where CS6 was installed before. The update from the cloud did not work. I deinstalled every program and used the cc cleaner and also the adobe cleaner. I installed CC but when i want to install apps, i can´t even see apps. There is a warning sign and when i press on >apps< it says: >there is a problem. close all instances of adobe application manager<.
    I already deleted the folder AAM and something like OObb, wich was told by an old posting.
    What should i have to do to get this fixed.

    Hi StefanHeg,
    Follow the below steps for Download Error under Apps tab,
    1. Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder under Applications.
    2. Check for Adobe processes such as Adobe Crash Daemon, Adobe CEF Helper, Coresync, Creative cloud, If you find them Force quit it.
    3. Open the finder window and press Command + Shift + G button.
        It will open the Go to folder search box, in that type ~/Library and then click on Go.
       Then, go to Application Support/Adobe folder and delete the AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.
    4. Now, open the Go to folder search box again, in that type /library this time and then click on Go.
        Notice that this time it is just /Library and the ~ symbol is not included.
        Then, go to Application Support/Adobe folder and delete the AAMUpdater, Adobe Application Manager and OOBE folders.
    5. Now, open the finder window and Press Command + Shift + U button.
        It will open the Utilities folder, from there delete the Adobe Application Manager and Adobe Creative Cloud folder.
    6. Now, run the cleaner tool from the below link. Do not click Clean All button.
        Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
        In the cleaner tool, check if you have Adobe Creative Cloud or Adobe Application Manager listed, If found select it and click on Clean Up Selected button.
        If not found, close the cleaner tool.
    7. Download and Install the Creative Cloud Desktop from here : Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial
    Launch the Adobe Creative Cloud from Applications folder > Sign in and click on Apps tab.
    If you still face the same issue, please try enabing the Root user account in your Mac and restart the computer > Login to Root account and try to access the Creative Cloud App.
    Find the steps to enable Root user account : OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
    Hope it helps.
    Thank you.

  • Why if i have paid the One Year Creative Plan Suscription, the Desktop Apps are shown as Trials and I only have 30 days to use them, when I paid for the hole Year?

    Hi, I have 2 computers that I use very often, at first I could Install in both computers my Creative Cloud Apps without any problems , but one of them got bad and I needed to download the Creative Cloud and the Apps once again, but, now they appear as Trials , so I wanna know why this is happening when before this incident, I didn't have that problem? Thank you.

  • Apps are gone...

    Hi community,
    I got the following problem with my new iPad Air: several apps such as Pages, Amazon, Keynote... are not displayed on the screen anymore. The apps are shown in the settings however, but only the symbols without the text info beside them (see pic). All App Symbols wihtout text are the ones missing. Deleting and re-installing these apps does no good, they are still gone from the homescreen. Restarting the iPad was also no help.
    Thanx for tipps and support!

    Did you do a search and see if one of them appears? Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the Spotlight Search. Type in any of those apps and if it appears, tap on it and see if the app launches.
    Rebooting the iPad might not be a bad idea either.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Deleted apps appear inside update

    Upon iOS 4.3.3 , once deleted apps continuous to appear inside the "purchased" section inside Updates, those deleted apps are coming from my iPhone 4 as well as other devices that utilizing the same iTunes. How to get rid of them permanently?

    Deleting them doesn't mean you didn't purchase them. Look on the bright side - if you change your mind, you can get them back.
    Thanks for that.
    (Why do so many people fear others finding out what apps they have downloaded?  I suppose I shouldn't ask.)
    I just don't know why I'm so afraid of that, but I believe that those people similar to you wouldn't fear about that. I suppose I shouldn't talk.

  • Attempting to delete apps on Touch crashes iPod (2.01)

    I was hoping this problem would vanish with 2.01.
    -- Removing apps from Touch using iTunes works, but *holding the icon until they jiggle and then deleting directly on the Touch crashes the iPod.*
    I've tried deleting just 1 app and several at a time with the same results. As soon as i try to switch to the Settings panel i get a crashes white screen. If I don't go to settings and just power off to save my changes the Touch hangs on startup and I have to hold the Sleep button to cold boot, after which all the deleted apps are back.
    *Does this actually work for anyone else?*
    *Anyone else have this problem?*

    1)  Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Delete App
    2)  Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions...

  • How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have.  But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded.  soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

    How do I delete an app on iTunes?  I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete".  But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either).  I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

    If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
    Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

  • My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well!!

    I have and iphone 6 with iOS 8.1. My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! She have iPhone 6 and and iOS as well. How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well! Setting in mac and iphone are a bit presice and sensitive. Is there any way to solve my issue and increase the safety, security and privacy in my iPhone and its data?

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • I have just got iTunes match. It appears that since joining and starting it some tunes have been deleted from my library. They are shown in the listing but iTunes can no longer locate the files. Any suggestions?

    If they are showing in the Videos app with a cloud then go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and set Videos (under the 'Show All') heading 'off' - you might (depending upon which country that you arein) have a similar button for music and the Music app.

  • HT1977 Why are Apps not shown in left hand panel in itunes when my ipad or iphone is synced

    I recovered my hard drive from backup in windows vista and reinstalled itunes. When I sync my ipad of iphone and select apps, the screen layout is shown in the right hand panel but the apps do no show up in the left panel. Before the recovery operation the apps were found in the left panel categorised as iphone and ipad.
    Now I cannot temprarily delete apps in case they are permanently deleted.

    Great help - am running iTunes 12 and the last tip worked great .. Ta.. ..  But......
    I have now downloaded all my purchases from iPad into my 13" MacBook Air and its taken nearly 2G of disk space (which on the wee Air is a big problem !). I guess its transferred lots of files but apps like Adobe Draw and Sketch which I suspect have some big files do not show up down the page under the App > Files section in iTunes and many other apps are missing from here.
    How can I find and delete all the files that have been sucked into my MB Air after restoring purchases. I have not chosen to backup my iPad to the Air, but who knows what iTunes has decided to do

  • IWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore. Why?

    Just uppgraded to iOS 7.0.3 on my new iPhone 5s. iWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore, only the Buy (for a price) option is there. Why? These apps used to show up free for me earlier, but i didn't install them due to the reported system instability they caused. That instability is reportedy addressed in iOS 7.0.3 but the apps are not free anymore, are they? Looks like it's not what was advertised...

    Ok... rebooting my iPhone 5s one more time after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 solved the problem - after the reboot all the iWork and iLife apps are showing free in the AppStore again... Good deal!
