How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

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.

  • Anyone know how to delete an App from itunes library?

    Hi All,
    I have a number of Apps that I have tried to remove from my itunes account. These are just games that I no longer play or have never played.
    First I tried selecting the App in itunes, then Edit/Delete then it will ask you if you want to remove file. Then I emptied the trash.
    This did not work. Now every time an update is available for the previously deleted App it will download that update then try and re-download the full game.
    Secondly I have tried going to "finder" and finding the file on the Mac HD. and then deleting the file/game this way.
    This also did not work and again the game is try to re-download.
    As you can imagine this is becoming quite annoying and is starting to clog up my downloads when I check for other updates.
    Can anyone help???
    Regards,
    Pete

    Thanks but this didn't resolve a thing.

    I have no problem deleting the app from my mobile device.
    The problem comes when I delete it from itunes and form my iMac. I know that the Apps are stored in the "mobile application" folder on my Mac HD. But even when deleting the file from that location the App still re-downloads every time I check for updates in itunes app store.
    No matter how many times I delete the file and no matter where I delete it from, It always downloads again.
    I no longer want these apps why can't I delete them completely?

    I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?

  • 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.

    Will that also delete it from iCloud?  I have free versions of apps, which I liked so much I subsequently bought the full version, so I no longer have any reason to keep the free ones.

    Hey TIFF 1982,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. If I understand your question correctly, it sounds like you basically wish to delete applications from your iPad. The following resource outlines how to do so:

  • 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).

  • I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers?

    I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers? My mac seems to be running a bit off.

    To delete any type of app you need to open the Finder window and highlight the app you want to delete by moving it to the trash. Empty the trash and it's gone. There are some Apple provided apps that cannot be deleted but you should not have any issue with the games.
    As for cleaners, I personally don't use them but the 911 and Mackeeper are very popular and I hear work pretty well with Macs.
