How do you permanently delete apps from iTunes 11.0.1?

I've seen a few community discussions about this however it seems to be discussing the former version of iTunes. I have version 11.0.1 and when I right click to delete as has been instructed previously I don't get a delete option. In fact, I don't get any sort of option.
So, I'm hoping to get some sort of insight to delete some of these apps from iTunes that were trials... or silly games I downloaded when I was bored and never plan to play again. It just gets old sorting through them all.
Thanks!

Hi HarmWong,
See if this helps. It is from the iTunes 11 for Windows Apple Support site:
Delete an item from your library
                        Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
                        Click Delete Item.
                        Do one of the following:
   Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
   Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Recycle Bin. The item is removed the next time you empty the Recycle Bin.
Removing an item from a playlist doesn’t remove it from your iTunes library or your computer. Deleting a playlist or folder doesn’t remove the songs from your library or hard disk.
When you delete a folder, all the playlists and folders inside that folder are also deleted.
If you can’t remove a song, make sure you didn’t select a song in a Smart Playlist with “Live updating” turned on.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

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 ...

HT5824 How can you permanently delete books from Ibooks

How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
Hope this helps.

How do I permanently delete apps from my iPad?

When you delete an application, it's data is not permanently deleted. I'd like to know how you permanently delete all of the application data.

This is copied for an iPhone thread but it works the same way for an iPad.
If you really want to get rid of it: iTunes>Library>Apps...right-click the app you want to delete, select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Then, make sure you first delete the app on your phone, then sync your phone. The app and all traces of its data will be gone.

HT2905 how do I permanently delete app from my Ipad 2?

I would like to know if it's possible to permanently delete unwanted apps and moves off my Ipad2? I have tried my when I reset my Ipad, they are still there! HELP

Yes you can permanently delete them from the iPad, but if you sync with iTunes and the apps and movies are still in iTunes, you have to delete them in there as well or they will transfer back to the iPad once you sync again.
Forgive the title of the website.

If this isn't working for you, explain what you are doing and what "reset my iPad" means in this regard.

How do I permanently delete music from iTunes library and iPhone?

I had some old music I didn't like anymore so I went to delete it but it still shows up in my iTunes library and my phone. I plug in my phone to my laptop and in iTunes, all of the apparently deleted songs are gray text instead of black and they all have a gray, dotted circle next to it and this is really bothering me because all I see is clutter. Same goes for my phone. When "Show All Music" is turned off, I don't see any of the deleted songs which is what I want but when it's turned on, they come back with the iCloud symbol next to it and I don't like that at all. I want ALL of my songs to be PERMANENTLY DELETED meaning that if "Show All Music" is turned on or off, I don't want to see the music in my phone or in my iTunes library.

Hi Jessica,
I found an article how you could do that on iTunes: iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support and another blog post on this issue: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/delete-phantom-icloud-songs-your-iphone-015457 5/
Give it a try.
With kind regards,

How can I permanently delete apps from iCloud on my child's iPad

Up front, I'd like to say that this question has nothing to do with storage space - rather, it's about deleting apps, for parenting reasons, the iCloud.
We wish to permanently remove select apps from our child's iPad. We cant seem to do this - while they are not active on the home screen, by going into itunes or the App Store, they can simply be downloaded again without our knowledge or consent.
Are there any provisions for parental controls over the iCloud?
Thanks.

By going to settings - general - restrictions - parental controls can be setup to limit the age appropriate content including apps. By hiding those apps on your computer you may be able to change their visibility as well, but I haven't had a chance to check it - try it yourself if you want.

How do I permanently delete apps from my purchased list?

I know how to hide them but I just want to clear them permanently so that I don't have all this 'documents and data' saved from apps that I only used once and have long since deleted, can u help?

You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, hiding them is all that you can do.
You can control which apps are backed up to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage on the device - do those apps show there, and you are able to delete their content from the backup there ?

How do you permanently delete Photos from my iPhoto library?

When I delete a picture in iPhoto by hitting the "Delete" button on my keyboard, it vanishes from the Library but if I go into my hard-drive and look under my Photos folders, Ill find its still there. How do I delete it for good the first time?

Did you confirm that they were in the iPhoto trash bin before you emptied it via the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu option? If you were in an album and hit the delete key you only removed the photo from that album. You have to be in an event for the Delete key to send the photo to the trash.
If done right the original image file, thumbnail and any modified versions will be completely deleted from the HD.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do you permanently delete a TVshow from my itunes.

I downloaded a free preview of a TVShow watched it and then deleted it, now everytime I launch iTunes it starts downloaded that same show.
I have deleted it from the downloaded list and tried to delete it from the list of TVShow, while it appears to be deleted, everytime I launch iTune or synch my iPhone the show starts downloaded again, and it takes about 20 mins and slows down the synch process.
How can I permanently delete items from my iTunes and prevent them from continuous downloading?

I suspect one is the HD version and one is the standard version, both of which are often available to download again as a previous purchase from the iTunes store when you purchase a movie. They aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and therefore don't use any of your storage. The cloud symbols are just links to your previous purchases in the iTunes store. They can't be deleted but if you don't want to see one of them, you can hide it in iTunes on your computer and it shouldn't be visible on your iPad any longer (see iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases).
