Deleting unwanted apps in iTunes on iPad device

How can I delete unwanted apps from my iTunes? I do not have a computer to link my iPad up to.

Hey TIFF 1982,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. If I understand your question correctly, it sounds like you basically wish to delete applications from your iPad. The following resource outlines how to do so:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

Remove an unwanted app from Itunes account - ipad 1 - IOS 5.1.1

How can I remove an app from my Itunes account? I have deleted it from my Ipad but it still shows in the list on ITunes. I read some other helps that said press delete with the app highlighted but that just causes the computer to beep and nothing happens.

You should be able to delete the app in iTunes.
Launch iTunes. Click on Apps under the Library heading. Find the app in the window on the right, right click on and select delete from the contextual menu. Follow the prompts to totally delete it.
Do this without connecting the iPad to your computer.

Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the purchase list

Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the puchase list . too many app there

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide them via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - if your iPad is on iOS 7, then after hiding them on your computer you may need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in for them to be hidden in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it (the last time I hid an app I needed to do that).

How to Delete unwanted Apps for ever?

Sometimes we download 'apps', which may turn out just duds or NOT as good and functional as we expect them to be. Then we decide to delete and though they are deleted from iPad ( 4th Gen) or iPhone, the same remain in the iTunes and show up at the time of synching under App section. The "Remove " option works only for deleting an app available on the device but not from iTunes ( computer) apps section. How can we Delete unwanted Apps for ever?
Sometimes I wonder why Steve infused so mauch control into such mundane issues as deleting undesirable stuff?It irritates to the extent sometimes I feel, whatever is said Windows based OS is much more user friendly and truly functional...

Have you tried Control-Clicking on the offending app?
Followed by a click on Delete?

I deleted the app FileMaster from my iPad but still have it on my iphone. How can I get it back on my iPad?

I deleted the app FileMaster on my iPad. I still have the app on my iPhone. I cannot re download it from the App Store as it has been removed. I do not have a computer to use to access iTunes. Both my devices are backed up to the iCloud. When I go to App Store>purchases>on this device/not on this device I cannot see the app on either the iPad or the iPhone. It is alive and working well on the iPhone. From what I have read, restoring a backup will not solve the problem as apple will only restore currently available apps which if is true who knows how many apps would be lost through a backup.
The app offers you to share it but the link now draws a blank screen in the App Store. I don't need the lost data just the app back. It was stalling constantly so I deleted it before realising it's no longer available. I don't wish to jailbreak my iPad.
Please help.

I Had it on my iPod, but I reset to factory settings and it got deleted :( If I find a way to get it back, I'll post it here so you can too.

TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad

I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad.

If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.

How to delete an app off iTunes that is no longer available

I am getting the error "An app xxxx was not installed on iphone xxxx because the app could not be found." I get this error at every sync. Basically the app is on iTune but not on the phone. I want to delete this app from iTunes - it is a sports app from 2014 that would never be used.. Since the app is no longer available, I just want to delete it. I cannot do that on iTunes.
Help please.

"Remove" is not an option, only Install or Will Install

I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?

How to delete unwanted apps

How do I delete unwanted apps that I do not want anymore? And also to where they are not even stored in iCloud? How does one get rid of iCloud? I think somehow I got an iCloud account that I do not even want... is there a way to get rid of that? Thanks in advance.

Tap and hold on the app icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "X" that appears. Note, you cannot delete the preinstalled apps.
Apps are not stored in your iCloud account. Only you would know if you signed up for an iCloud account. If you don't want to use it, log out. Settings>iCloud.

Can i delete the Apps in iTunes since my apps are all on the cloud now?

I've got iTunes opened up right now and on the left panel it says Apps, and it says 136 next to it
i know this means i have 136 apps that need to be updated, but for what?
all my apps are backed up on iCloud, and itunes remembers what apps i've downloaded
so can i delete these apps in itunes? it seems like it has a saved file for every single app i've ever downloaded, and i don't see the point in having that much stuff on my computer.
will i cause any harm by deleting these?

Not 100% sure of your question. If you are wanting to delete apps from itunes just right click then delete then empty recycle bin.

I'd suggest removing the unwanted items directly from your Applicaitons folder. In order to do this, you'll need to highlight the desired applicaiton, then use File -> Move to Trash (or CMD + Delete on your keyboard).
If they're still showing up in Launchpad, or if they don't exist in the Applications folder, use the following command in Terminal to remove your existing Launchpad databases (as they may be damaged and not updating correctly) and restart Launchpad (which will create fresh databases):
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ; killall Dock
