How do I delete something I have downloaded

I downloaded some files that I would now like to delete from my computer for privacy protection. I know how to clear the download list using Tools, but will that delete the files from my computer?

Removing it from the downloads list ("Ctrl+J") will not affect the file at all.
Right click on the file in the downloads, and choose "Open containing folder", which be an Windows Explorer window you might want to sort descending on "Date modified".

im new at this lol just wondering if anyone knew how to delete something in ur download list if u dont wanna download it?

Deleting the download will not stop it from using your "credit" in iTunes. The content has already been purchased.
You could simply let it download or delete the entry from the downloads page.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You have to do it in the Video app, not in the iTunes app.

Thanks, uselesssabotage, but it isn't the app, it's the individual episodes I'm struggling with. I've tried the usual as you describe, no dice.

Hey okapi22,
Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them. Take a look at the following article:

Thanks,

Interesting. On JellyBean and KitKat? Wow.
So the OP should go to the App Drawer, and try to locate a file manager, and if one isn't there, they should download one. Most people need to be able to locate files, and not everything is placed in Downloads.
Jelly Bean, KitKat, ICS, Gingerbread, FroYo, Eclair and Donut Android OS versions. The HTC devices on those versions never had a file explorer installed from the factory. The Galaxy Nexus never had one either. I have used a file explorer app from the Play Store since Eclair and maybe Donut.

Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

OS X Server Wikis - How do i delete people that have left the office?
Some people participated in the editing of the wiki and they have now left the office. How do i remove them and their documents from the People page?
Thank you.

Should be able to do so from the Users pane (select the user then click the "-" below the list of users. That worked for me with all but one out of five users I deleted. No matter what, their Wiki person page remained, so I hid it from view.
Sorry I couldn't provide more conclusive help.

If it's a purchase then you would need to download it to your laptop by visiting the iTunes store - purchased (under quick links).
If it's a rental it will only be viewable on the Apple TV.

You can't delete your purchase history. You can hide it, but only on a computer, not an iOS device:
