How do I delete songs from my iCloud account when they don't exist in iTunes?

I have several songs that showup on my iPhone 4s with the cloud icon and downward pointing arrow.
1. I've just deleted all songs on my iPhone4s
2. Only songs with the iCloud icon showup
3. The songs on my iPhone4S that showup with the iCloud icon don't exist in iTunes
4. I don't use iTunes Match
5. I know that I can turn off "Show All Music" in the Music Setting to not show those songs, but I want to delete those songs I no longer have from my i Cloud account.
How do I delete those songs with the iCloud icon?
Thank You...

You can't delete them from iCloud because they aren't stored in your iCloud account (and don't use any of your storage).  They are stored in the iTunes store, and the cloud symbols are links to your previous purchases.  If you don't want to see them, hide them on the purchased list in iTunes on your computer, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

    How to complete delete everything from my icloud account. Like brand new.

    First go to Settings>iCloud on your device and confirm that everything is turned to Off, and that you are not syncing any data with iCloud before proceeding.  (If you are, when you delete the data from iCloud it will also be deleted from your device and it will be lost.)  When you turn these off, you will be given the option to keep the data on your device.
    To delete your contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For Calendars, open your calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
    For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
    For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
    For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
    To delete your my photo stream photos, open the album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap the trash icon. If you want to keep a copy of them on your device, save them to your camera roll first.

  • How do I delete apps from the icloud account ?

    When I download an old app that used to work perfectly , it no longer works . I was told to delete it from my devise and reload it from the app store but I do not get that option when i search the app. I only get the option to load it from the cloud and it doesn't work once loaded. How can I delete the app from the icloud so as to download the app directly from the app store ?

    Downloading it from the cloud is downloading it from the App store.
    Your most likely problem is that your iOS is too old to run the App, unless you can update your iOS there is little you can do about this.

  • How do I delete contents from my iCloud account  to free- up space

    Recently i replaced my damaged iPhone with a new one. I could restore the contents to new phone. But now I am not able to update the iCloud from my new phone as it says that "Not enough space". This leads to the question - how do i remove all the contents in my iCloud account?
    Also when I login into my iCloud account using PC, I see there are 2 phones shown against my account and I am not able to delete one of them?
    Any tips for both these issues.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can delete contents in your iCloud storage from your device using settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage storage. Swipe the individual content to the left to reveal the delete button.

  • HT4906 how can I delete photos from my icloud account

    I would like to free up space on my icloud account.  can I do that by deleting pictures?  How can I delete the pictures?

    This is the iPhoto for Mac forum. None of the services that use iPhoto in iCloud use up any of your space, so I suggest you try here:

  • How do I delete devices from my iCloud account

    I have several old devices that show up for account verification.  I can see them in my account details at settings in iCloud, but don't see a way to delete them.  Is there a way to delete those old devices?

    Did you set up the iPad Mini using a backup of your iPhone? If so, that is why you would see them on the iPad.
    Did you erase the iPhone and sign out of your iCloud account before giving it away? If you did, then the person who now has the iPhone has no access to your iCloud account.

    Hello audreywisc,
    Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

    How do I delete songs from my iPod touch

    With an earlier iOS (iOS 4 and below) you have to unsync them.

  • How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

    How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

    You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
    HOWEVER.....
    Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
    Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
    it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:
