How to Delete unwanted Apps for ever?

Sometimes we download 'apps', which may turn out just duds or NOT as good and functional as we expect them to be. Then we decide to delete and though they are deleted from iPad ( 4th Gen) or iPhone, the same remain in the iTunes and show up at the time of synching under App section.  The "Remove " option works only for deleting an app available on the device but not from iTunes ( computer) apps section. How can we Delete unwanted Apps for ever?
Sometimes I wonder why Steve infused so mauch control into such mundane issues as deleting undesirable stuff?It irritates to the extent sometimes I feel, whatever is said Windows based OS is much more user friendly and truly functional...

Have you tried Control-Clicking on the offending app?
Followed by a click on Delete?

    how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • How to delete unwanted apps

    How do I delete unwanted apps that I do not want anymore?  And also to where they are not even stored in iCloud?  How does one get rid of iCloud?  I think somehow I got an iCloud account that I do not even want... is there a way to get rid of that?  Thanks in advance.

    Tap and hold on the app icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "X" that appears. Note, you cannot delete the preinstalled apps.
    Apps are not stored in your iCloud account. Only you would know if you signed up for an iCloud account. If you don't want to use it, log out. Settings>iCloud.

  • How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

    I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
    I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
    How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
    I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
    Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
    Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
    If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
    Thank you.

    I delete unwanted apps with the jiggling x, but they promptly reappear the next time I open launchpad.  How do I delete in Lion?

    I'd suggest removing the unwanted items directly from your Applicaitons folder. In order to do this, you'll need to highlight the desired applicaiton, then use File -> Move to Trash (or CMD + Delete on your keyboard).
    If they're still showing up in Launchpad, or if they don't exist in the Applications folder, use the following command in Terminal to remove your existing Launchpad databases (as they may be damaged and not updating correctly) and restart Launchpad (which will create fresh databases):
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ; killall Dock

    How can I delete unwanted app update notices on iphone in "App Store"?

    As far as I know, that's only possible if you don't have the app installed anymore on the phone. Let's see if Apple changed that in iOS5. If no, you can suggest this here: Apple - iPhone - Feedback

    I have an iPad 2 and want to know how to delete email addresses for those that I have sent mail to.

    Email addresses that are not in your Contacts app but which still show up in Mail will disappear after a period of time when they are unused. Just ignore them and they will eventually go away.

  • Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the purchase list

    Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the puchase list . too many app there

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide them via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - if your iPad is on iOS 7, then after hiding them on your computer you may need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in for them to be hidden in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it (the last time I hid an app I needed to do that).
