    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 I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my  computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

    Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

    Will that also delete it from iCloud?  I have free versions of apps, which I liked so much I subsequently bought the full version, so I no longer have any reason to keep the free ones.

    Press and hold on any app icon on the home page or in the folder where this app is available until app apps begin to wiggle. An x will be available on the icon for the app. Select the x to delete. Press the home button when finished.

  • How do I permanently delete an app from my iPad and App Store?

    I would like to permanently delete apps from my iPad and my Purchased list in the App Store. How do I do this? These apps are ones that I have tried and found to be useless or do not work correctly. I have deleted apps from iTunes Store, but I cannot get rid these unwanted apps on my iPad and this is very annoying.
    Apple may think that users out there who may change their mind. However I am not one of them. If something is useless and does not work correctly, then I do not want to see it again. Some of these apps I have paid for, but I am prepared to accept that loss as a bad purchase. So Apple, please provide a facility to allow users to permanently delete apps from the App Store. Obviously, Apple would have to include the appropriate warnings that permanently deleting apps cannot be reversed.

    Hi ..
    You can delete the currenlty installed apps. Hold down an app until all the apps jiggle. Then on each app tap the x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once to to stop the apps from jiggling.
    And you can hide purchases >  iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    But purchase history cannot be delete.
    "Obviously, Apple would have to include the appropriate warnings that permanently deleting apps cannot be reversed."
    Apps can re downloaded using the same Apple ID for free >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Anyone know how to delete an App from itunes library?

    Hi All,
    I have a number of Apps that I have tried to remove from my itunes account. These are just games that I no longer play or have never played.
    First I tried selecting the App in itunes, then Edit/Delete then it will ask you if you want to remove file. Then I emptied the trash.
    This did not work. Now every time an update is available for the previously deleted App it will download that update then try and re-download the full game.
    Secondly I have tried going to "finder" and finding the file on the Mac HD. and then deleting the file/game this way.
    This also did not work and again the game is try to re-download.
    As you can imagine this is becoming quite annoying and is starting to clog up my downloads when I check for other updates.
    Can anyone help???
    Regards,
    Pete

    Thanks but this didn't resolve a thing.

    I have no problem deleting the app from my mobile device.
    The problem comes when I delete it from itunes and form my iMac. I know that the Apps are stored in the "mobile application" folder on my Mac HD. But even when deleting the file from that location the App still re-downloads every time I check for updates in itunes app store.
    No matter how many times I delete the file and no matter where I delete it from, It always downloads again.
    I no longer want these apps why can't I delete them completely?

    You cannot remove items from your list of purchases. That is simply a list of receipts kept by Apple for your account.

  • TS1424 how do i permanently delete an app from my ipad in the purchased apps section that has already been deleted?

    I am trying to delete an app I no longer want or need completely from my purchased apps history. I deleted it from my main page but I dont want it to show up any more period. Any suggestions??

    You cannot delete it form your purchase history, as it is  a history of all of your purchases.  That is the point of your purchase history.
    You can hide it.

  • HT1977 how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account?

    how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account? It bothers me a lot when I try to syn my device to a new computer and all the apps i've ever purchased get downloaded to a new computer even the ones I never use anymore.

    Sorry, but you can't permanently delete an app. You can hide them:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    but the app will still sync to your computer if the app is present on the iPad. If the apps are downloading directly to your computer and hiding doesn't do the job, you'll need to turn off automatic downloading.
    Regards.

    I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?
