How do I delete apps from itunes history and stopping autodownload to laptop?

I've seen this discussion thread a million times over on the apple support forum. I want ot delete a game I downloaded for free on my ipad that are over a GB each in size. All I can do is hide them on my itunes account on the computer, but they keep on autodownloading each time I start itunes.
I have unticked the automatic downloads boxes for music apps and books under preferences->store in itunes but they keep on downloading each time I start itunes. I DON'T WANT THEM APPLE! Just cos I made the mistake once to download them and then changed my mind, you're going to keep insisting I have them?! I have a limit on my broadband usage so don't want to download 5GB each time I open itunes thanks.
Ridiculous....

How do I delete apps from itunes so they never download again?

If you have the left-hand sidebar showing click Apps under Library, if you don't have the left-hand sidebar showing then click Done at the top right of the screen to go back to your library and then select Apps via the selection button top left.
You will now be able to permanently delete apps from itunes - Select app - right click - delete - send to recycle bin

Deleting apps from iTunes Library and IOS Devices at once.

Hi there,
I tend to delete all unneeded apps from iTunes library on my Mac, because when I delete them from there, it just take one syncing session to deleted them from all my other devices. But recently I noticed that this way is no longer helpful, now I have to delete each app on my iPhone, iPad and Mac manually. So if anyone can help me to make iTunes recur to the previous pehevior, please replay ASAP.
Thanks.

I have the same problem! I recently decided to clean up my devices. The first thing that came to my mind was to delete an App from iTunes, sync and get rid of it on all other devices. I was surprised that it stays on iDevices evem after you delete it from iTunes. I don't want it this way. DOes anyone know of a trick that can allow me delete an app just once?
Before if you delete an App from iTunes and try to Sync an iPhone or an iPad with it, you would see a window telling you that there are items on your iphone that are not present in iTunes - do you want to copy them? Now it just "syncs" and leaves the Apps untouched. What kind of synchronization is this?

How do I delete apps from iTunes for iPhone?

Okay, I delteted the app from my iPhone, but iTunes wants to reinstall it. No obvious way to delete the app from iTunes. Of course, when I find out how, it will be facepalm time.
Thanks,

Thanks for the responses!
Path to get to iPhone Apps in 10.6.7 is:
Users::your_name::Music::iTunes::Mobile Applications
It would have been easier to just search for the App name, duh. Hindsight is so 20/20.

There is always going to be a history of your purchases, but you can right click on it and choose delete.

How do I delete apps from iTunes

How can I delete apps from my computer?

How can I delete apps from my computer and subsequently have this filter to my ipad, iphones?

If you are syncing through iTunes to manage content on your iPad and iPhones (not using iCloud), you can "filter" what goes on each device in iTunes.
To do this, select the device in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Apps tab. On that screen, select the apps you want on the device. Apply the change.
So each device can have a different set of apps, from your overall library in iTunes that has everything. There is no need to delete the app from your iTunes library in order for it to be delete from a device.
But if you DO want to delete an app from your iTunes library, select Apps in the iTunes sidebar (under LIBRARY). Over to the right, find and select the app you want to delete. Right (or Control) click on the app and select Delete.

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

Match was off. I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option. I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back. This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work. It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes. However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes.
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

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

Completely delete app from itunes and prevent from redownloading

Hi.
I downloaded an app on my ipod touch. Whenever I fire up itunes on my mac air, it keeps downloading the app. This is even though under Store Preferences I have unchecked Apps under the Automatic Downloads.
Also, how do I completely delete this app from my Mac itunes. Even though I hit the delete key and make it go away, the next time I fire up itunes, it resumes downloading from where it left off.
How do I completely delete this app from itunes? And, how do I stop Apps downloads in itunes (I still want songs to download)?
Regards.

I am also having the same problem.., But I consistently download the non-HD Version as able-bodied and again delete it, or it keeps aggravating to download every time I start iTunes..
