How do I remove un-used apps from iTunes?

My iPad apps are starting to take up a lot of space on my hard drive.  I noticed that my iTunes library contains a lot of apps that I've previously deleted from my iPad and no longer use.  Why are they still showing/sitting on my Windows hard drive?  There doesn't seem to be a way to tell which apps are being used (i.e., on my iPad) vs. those that are not on my iPad any more.  I want to remove the latter from iTunes.  Is possible?
I know you can simply delete an app from the iTunes library by right-clicking and hitting delete.  But I need a way to differentiate those that are NOT on my iPad.  There is no check mark or any other indications that I can see.
I tried searching for this but did not find any definitive answer.
Thanks.

Unless I misundertand what you mean, no, that doesn't remove anything from your computer. That just hides the app from your Purchased list in the iTunes Store.
If you want to remove the app from your computer, locate the app in your iTunes library listing, right-click on it, and select "delete". Then you can prevent the app from being re-downloaded from the iTunes Store automatically either by hiding the app in the iTunes Store, per your previous suggestion, or turning off automatic downloading in the iTunes/Store preferences.
Regards.

    How do I remove already updated apps from the update area?

    KILLING ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER AND TRAY ICON.
    Easy ! I use Comodo Pro Firewall.
    1) Click on DEFENSE box.
    2) Click on "View Active Process List"
    3) Look down the list of processes. Find APDPROXY.EXE.
    4) Click it, then click "Terminate and Quarantine"
    5) ALL DONE ! No more icon in tray and the program is killed.
    APDPROXY - This is lurking about, you can find it on SEARCH from the START button. BUT, you cannot delete it or move it and MSCONFIG does not work. You can disable it as many times as you like - it will keep coming back.
    SOLUTION ! Download CCleaner, it is a great little program and free.
    Using this you can click on TOOLS, then STARTUP. A list of programs are shown which are enabled at STARTUP. Disabling does not work, just click on APDPROXY and click DELETE. It`s GONE !
    All over in a flash - no more ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER.

  • 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 I remove my book titles from iTunes bookstore?

    How do I remove my book titles from iTunes bookstore?

    With regard the  reply or  part of, which  you edited out.....   as you  already have the book(s) on sale elsewhere, it is not costing you anything to have them  on the iBooks store, so  why remove from sale??
    I also note the price comparisons and suggest that this may be a factor in low (any) sales so maybe its an area you could consider.  Also,  if you have a website/ facebook etc,. are you promoting sales  via you friends and  followers.
    In   iTunes Connect  > Deliver your Content are a number of PDfs  to download, one of which covers Marketting, it may be worth looking at it.
    Other than that,, good look with your  books where ever they are on sale.

  • I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

    I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

    Assuming all the device(s) have been synced to this computer as its Home computer. The easiest way would be to delete all the apps from iTunes. After which connect your device(s) to the computer (iTunes) and transfer purchases from the device(s) by right click (control click) the device name in the left sidebar and the click transfer purchases. When done only the apps on your device(s) will be in you iTunes library.
    Hope that helps

  • TS1702 How do I remove/delete an app from my iPad mini that I no longer need?

    Can someone advise please? How can I delete/remove an unwanted app from my iPad mini? Thanks!

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How do I remove credit card info from iTunes Store account?

    How do I remove credit card information from my iTunes account?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • How do I download a game app from iTunes to my game centre?

    How do I download a game app from my Itunes to me game centre? Im trying to play Dragonvale!

    Hello Tamara,
    Did you download the game directly to you're divice (iPad/iPhone)?
    The game should automatically pop-up in Game-center once you've been playing it (if it uses Game-center).
    If the game prompts you to link Game-center, do it ;-).
    Happy gaming!
