How do I permanently delete a purchase?

How do I permanently delete a purchase?

i forget the details because its been awhile since i had a computer but....there is indeed a way to permanently delete files from itunes. what i recall of the method is this: itunes stores a record of your files in two places. you must delete the both of those to permanently delete the app (works for songs too).
this was on snow leo. im guessing (a) harder to get to those two places in the reborn os (i didnt try when i had a mac running lion. too busy solving keychain issues....) and (b) that its still the same when you do find those files.
sorry this is so vague but i wanted to note that its not impossible to do.

  • When looking at my purchased apps within the app store, there is a section for "Not on This iPhone".  How do I permanently delete previously purchased apps that I never want to see/use again?

    How do I permamently delete previouly purchased apps from showing up in the "Not on This iPhone" section of the app store?

    These apps aren't showing up in iTunes.  They only show up in the purchased list on my iPhone.  But I guess there is no way to hide them in the App Store view?

  • How do I permanently delete a purchase from my available downloads.

    I purchased a tv show from iTunes that came with a regular version as well as a HD version. I do not want to download the HD version as it is estimated to take 5 hours and it is a duplicate. Every time I try to download new purchases this program begins to download. I have stopped the download, tried to delete it, unchecked it and it still reappears under "available for download".Is there a way to permanently delete this without having to download it?

  • HT201272 How do I permanently delete a purchased app - I do NOT want to HIDE the app.  I want it GONE!

    I have an app that does NOT run properly on my iPad2.  My husbnd has the SAME app and his works just fine.  I want the app GONE, I don't want to just "hide" it.  I'd like to redownload the app.  I believe I just got a bad download of the file.  After "hiding" the app and reinstalling it, I still have the same problem... no sound.
    The App I'd like to DELETE/PERMANENTLY remove is the VUDU app.

  • How do i permanently delete a purchase from iphone

    I downloaded a free coldplay album using the 12 days of christmas app a few days ago and now want to delete it - the music and video - not the app. I've removed theem all from my itunes but when i sync again they all re-appear and they never come off my phone. They take up space so I want them gone - i dont care if they appear on my purchases list (as a receipt blah blah blah)
    My phone is only set to sync music from 2 playlists, a few podcasts - no video at all and the tick box about musci video us left blank - so why is itunes forcing these files back onto my device?
    I never intend watching them again - so I need to remove the files from my phone and my itunes - pretty simple really but I dont appear toe be allowed to so it?
    Clues anybody??

    I should add that 'purchased' under playlists in the music sction has not been ticked. And if untick music completely then the audio bar (pale blue) shrinks to zero - but the video bar (purple) remains unchanged. Why can I not opt to un-sync all video and purchases?

    You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - after hiding them on your computer's iTunes you may then need to log out of your account on your iPad and then log back in for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab (I've been needing to do that with apps on iOS 7)

  • How do I permanently delete purchases?

    I delete a purchased song from itunes and send it to recycle bin.  But the next time I sync, itunes automatically transfers it back to my library.  How do I permanently delete purchased items?  This problem seemed to start once I started using icloud.

      Why would icloud be designed to continue transferring songs I want deleted?
    Because people are stupid and "accidentally" delete stuff all the time that they did not intend to delete.

  • HT204370 How do I permanently delete purchased movies or TV shows from itunes?

    How can I permanently delete purchased movies or TV shows from itunes?

    You can't currently permanently delete items, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding.  At the moment you can't hide items directly on iOS 6 devices, but you should be able to do it via your computer's iTunes.

  • 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.

    how do you permanently delete apps from all your mac products (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone)

    They are not taking up storage space.  Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can.  This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
    It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

  • How do I permanently delete a movie I downloaded from my itunes account?

    I deleted a movie that I downloaded. Then when I signed in on a different computer the movie was there again. How can I permanently delete it from my account?

    Hi, sophiaskoub.
    Thank you for the question.  The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer.  See the first article on how to disable this feature.  The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

  • HT1349 How do I permanently delete crap that my kids have downloaded onto my itunes?

    How do I permanently delete crap that my kids have downloaded onto my itunes? It's synced with my phone now too. I just want to listen to the albums I've purchased and the cds I've downloaded. Help. Please.

    When you delete one or more of your purchases from your library you should get an option to Hide purchases from iTunes in the Cloud. Selecting this option should prevent the items from appearing as cloud links or in the purchased section of the iTunes Store, however should you later change your mind you can visit your account and use the Manage hidden purchases link to restore them.

  • How do i permanently delete books?

    how do I permanently delete books from the cloud?

    You can't, you can only hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    If you are using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then hiding is done in a similar way but via iBooks, not iTunes.
