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

  • 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.

    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 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!

  • How do i permanently delete an app now with icloud

    How do I permanently delete old apps off of the icloud that is on the phone now?

    I fully agree darkslayer1234. If the app was free why is it still attached to my history? even if I paid for it I (and that's a BIG CAPITAL I) should have the freedom to delete it and risk paying again. This history thing *****, how many years will I be haunted by immature, inappropriate apps that I had 'thrown away"?
    Someone at the planning stage just did not consider the full effect on the end user.
    Apple should allow me to export my WANTED apps to a new account and disable the old one!

  • How do I permanently delete an invitee from iCal

    how do I permanently delete an invitee from iCal

    Hello JT610,
    Thank you for the question.  You can delete the contacts that appear in iCloud by deleting the contact information from Address Book:
    The contacts that appear as you type in an iCal invitees field come from Address Book (the contacts application that comes with Mac OS X). To add, remove, or edit the contacts, you need to change the information in Address Book
    Add, edit, or delete contacts in Address Book
    In iCal, choose Window > Address Book, and then add, edit, or delete contact information in Address Book.
    iCal 5.x: Change the contacts that appear as you type in an Invitees field

  • How do I permanently delete Numbers files on the iPad?

    Friends:
    How do I permanently delete Numbers files on the iPad? I use the trash button, and they seem to be deleted, but they are not. If I leave Numbers and come back, I can still load the deleted files!
    How do i permanently delete them?
    Thanks
    Migs

    Do you mean to delete them from numbers, or from the shared folder location in the upper right? The previous poster was addressing the second. If you want to completely delete something from the iPad, you must do both, the trash can icon when e current workbook is in front of the list, and swipe to delete from the shared folder list. It's two completely different locations.

    How do I permanently delete books from the purchased area, I do not want them there permanently

    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)
