How to delete purchased tunes from iPhone?

I am undable to delete purchased tunes from my iPhone (4s, ios7.0.2)  I can delete all other tunes through syncing on iTunes. However, purchased tunes remain on my iPhone.  To the right of the title of the tune there is an image of a cloud with a arrow pointing downward.  This indicates that the tune is to be downloaded.  This is strange, as these tunes are already in iTunes.  I tried touching the cloud to download the tunes onto my iPhone.  Once all were downloaded, I went to settings, general, usage and to the music app. The I went to edit and delete.  This did no good. The tunes are still there.  I have tried this several times.  On my last attempt, I download the tunes again (on my iPhone), the synced with iTunes.  The tunes on my iPhone were temporarly gone, but soon came back.  I do not want any of these tunes on my iPhone at this time. I don't know how to get rid of them.

Hi clydedrnd,
When you see the song with the cloud icon, that means that the song is not on the phone, but can be downloaded from iCloud. If you would like to permantly delete the song from iCloud, you may find the following article helpful:

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

  • How to deletes the photos from iphone 4?

    How can I delete the stored photos from the iphone 4.

    I am so thrilled to report that, YES, in fact you can delete all photos with one easy swipe~!!!! I just discovered how by accident when I went to delete my audiobooks for more storage!! You go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > USAGE > PHOTOS & CAMERA > and then just decide what you’d like to remove~~ either (or all) “Camera Roll” “Photo Library” or “Photo Stream” & Swipe to Delete! Happy deleting everyone!!

  • How to delete photostream photos from iphone?

    how to delete photostream photos from iphone4?

    Just look at the many other threads on this subject.  See the 'More Like This' box on the right hand side?
    Basically, you can only delete all or none.  To delete all, reset your Photostream on iCloud.com and switch off PS on your device.
    You can temporarily remove the photos by switching off PS on your device, but when you switch it back on, the photos will return unless you reset as previously mentioned.

  • How to delete the files from iPhone before selling?

    How do I delete the files from my old iPhone4 before selling?

    Hey adhot,
    Before selling your iPhone, you'll want to follow these directions:
    Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you have removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
    Back up your device.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
    This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
    If you are using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
    Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner.
    When the device is turned on for the first time by the new owner, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
    Important: Do not manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your iCloud devices.

  • How to delete photos/pics from iPhone 3G???

    Please help. I am at a loss. How do you delete photos/pics (that you uploaded) from iPhone 3G??? I see no delete button, no trash button or anything that would instruct me to remove the photo?
    Thanks.

    You can delete photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll only and only one at a time.
    Photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Since you have a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this or the Image Capture application. After the import is complete, both applications include an option to erase all photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, or you can delete select photos.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted on or from your iPhone. You can remove any or all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the same way they were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.

  • How to delete double photos from iPhone 5

    why i phone 5 double the photos in the photo app
    why is no trash button or bin
    how i delete the doubles
    thanks

    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted direct on the iPhone. These photos are removed the same way they were transferred to the iPhone originally - via the iTunes sync process.
    All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. Photos in the albums transferred below are not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space. Photos in the albums below Photo Library include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This was you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
