How can i delete an app from my purchase history?

I have been using my iTunes account for many years now and have recently had an issue where my password was stolen by an app that I had not downloaded. I am worrying that (now that I have changed my password), there is an update for the supposed 'game' and it shows up in every update list on all my devices, that they will steal it again. I need to delete this off my purchase history because I do not want to update my other games and apps by entering my password. (you can tell it is not any normal app because it took £57.83 from my account) so I am up for suggestions of what to do...

You can only hide the the application in your account preferences via itunes store. The app shouldn'd be requesting update unless you still have it installed on your device. If so delete the app, and uncheck the app if you sync with itunes for APPS
If this supposed app took monies from your account, it would help to contact itunes support and let then know. This is community forum.
Peace

  • How can I delete an app from my purchased history?

    When I go to app store on my iPad 2, there is a purchased menu.
    If I enter it, I can see the whole apps that I've purchased on my account since I registerd.
    It's about 400 apps, and I want to delete some of them.
    If anyone knows, pleased tell me how can I delete them.
    Thank you,,,

    I disagree regarding Very complecated.   Its just a database entry of for example "ShowInPurchaseHistory"=False.
    The purchase history would remain.  If you wanted the app back you would just do it the old fasion way of remembering the app name and redownloading it from the store.   Redownloading it would then reset the ShowInPurchaseHistory" = True, which would show it again.
    Seems easy to me.   Hopefully when it is out of "beta" we will see the feature we are all looking for come to life.

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • How can I delete an app from the cloud??

    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 can I delete an app from my account definetly?

    How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad,  i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

    Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
    But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

  • TS1702 How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    Delete an App Store app: Touch and hold its icon on the Home screen until the icon starts to jiggle, then tap the "x" . You can’t delete built-in apps. When you finish, press the Home button.
    Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge

  • HT201322 On iPad how can I delete an app from iTunes account

    Of the years I have downloaded numerous apps on my iPad and iPhone.  Now I want to remove them from my devise and iTunes. How can I do that on my iPad?

    You can't currently permanently delete any item from your purchase history, you can delete an app from your iPad by pressing and holding an app, and you can select and delete them from the Apps part of your computer's iTunes so that they can't be synced back. Apart from that you can hide them as described on the page that you posted from so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading (hiding doesn't currently work directly on devices that are on iOS 6, though it should work via a computer's iTunes)

  • TS1702 How do I delete an app from the purchased area?

    I allowed my grandson to use my device. iPad 2
    He downloaded several which I wish to uninstall.
    How do I do that?

    Tap and hold down on an icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon to delete the app from the device itself.
    You cannot remove apps from the purchased list on the iPad in iOS 6. You can hide apps in the purchased tab but you have to do it from a computer using iTunes. You can read about it here.

    If you are running iOS 5, swipe across the cloud icon next to app in the purchased tab of the app store and a Hide button will appear.

  • How can I delete a app from the Mac App Store completely?

    I have a apllication which had a error. I delete it and download the app from the Mac App Store again, but the error wasn't delete. My iMac had stored it and the Error wasn't deleted so I can't youse the app.
    What can I do to delete the app complete?
    Please answer.

    If your App was faulty in some way you should write to iTunes support.   If you simply want to delete it, most Apps carry uninstall (not delete) instructions.
    Incidentally, I believe you cannot delete the record of your purchase from iTunes.   That will always stay on your purchases list and be marked with a dark grey square as INSTALL..

  • HT4484 How can I remove an application from my "Purchased" history?

    I have installed some apps then removed them from iPad. How can remove them from App Store purchased application?

    You can't.   Purchase history remains even though you have deleted the apps themselves.  You can hide them so that they do not show up.
