Deleting apps from the cloud

I am having problems deleting apps from the iCloud so I can reinstall a fresh version.

What do you mean? You can't delete apps from iCloud. What exactly are you trying to do? I assume that you want to delete an app and all of the data and for some reason the data is coming back when you reinstall the app?

To delete apps from a device press and hold any of the apps on the device's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with iOS 7, after hiding apps on my computer's iTunes I've been needing to log out of my account on my iPad and then log back for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
If you need to permanently delete data from iPhone, My recommendation is iPhone Data Eraser, which can erase all data including contacts, messages, call history, apps, system setting, photo, video, keyboard cache, safari bookmark. Indeed, iPhone Data Eraser worth trusting and it makes the work more effective. What you need is a windows computer. One single click and data deletion finish. In addition, the program also works well with iPad and iPod Touch.

how can I delete an app from the cloud, so nobody can download it again to my phone?? please I tried from the computer but it just hide the app from purchased, and still appears in the app store with the cloud on it

At the present time, you can't hide or delete an app from your purchased list on your phone. Prior to iOS 6 you could hide it; there has never been an option to delete it.

How do I delete a corrupted iPhone app from the cloud?

I need to reinstall an iPhone app. The current app has errors in it. I deleted the app, but when I went to reinstall the app, a cloud appeared where the price is usually listed. I was wondering if the same corrupted app is saved on the cloud? If so, how do I delete that from the cloud?

Tap and hold on the app until it juggles and displays a red X. Tap on the X to delete the app.

How do I move an App from the cloud to my iPad?

I downloaded an App (Houston Chronicle for iPad) and somehow I placed it on the Cloud instead of on my iPad. How do I move the App to my iPad?

BTW, your apps remain in the "cloud" regardless of if you think you "moved" them. You cannot delete them from the cloud. They will remain there until:
1. Apple removes it from the App Store for some reason
2. The developer chooses to have it removed from the App Store for some reason

How do I delete files from the cloud

I have numerous back issues of The New Yorker as well as old videos that are automatically stored on icloud from my ipad. I want to delete them from the cloud to free up storage space. How do I do this?

Hi jane roth,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Each magazine you purchase from Newsstand is considered it's own app. You should be able to control within the app (magazine) which individual issues you wish to keep. If you look at your Usage on your iPad ( Settings > General > Usage) you can see how much total data a particular magazine is using. If you delete the app, you would delete all of the data associatied with it. Here are a couple of articles that explain these options in more detail:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
For your photos and videos, I would suggest importing them to your computer, confirming they transferred completely, then deleting from your iPad. This will reduce the amount of space needed in iCloud.

How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again on my iphone5s

How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?

Your apps are not stored in your icloud account. You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly. Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

How do I recover deleted notes from the cloud?

How do I recover deleted notes from the cloud?

Please note that these instructions (suggestions) have not yet been confirmed to work. I have however provided similar instructions for recovering contacts, calendars etc, which have.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contact list?

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contacts?

If you have an iCloud backup of an iOS device that was made while the contacts were still on it, you may be able to restore them from the backup by following this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

HT4528 My daughter got an iphone. She set up her phone using my apple ID. She deleted all contacts she did not recognize. Now, over 100 of my contacts are gone. Is it possible she deleted them from the cloud and they are gone forever?

My daughter got an iphone. She set up using my apple ID. She deleted all the contacts that appeared on her phone and now they seem to be gone completely. Is it possible that she deleted contacts from the cloud? Are they permanently gone?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud mail is only doing what it is supposed to do. If you wish to keep mail on your computer but remove it from your iPhone, and then move it to an "On my Mac" folder in mail on your computer.
