HT201322 How do you remove hidden purchased apps permanently?

How do you remove hidden purcased iphone applications (Apps) permanently?
When you delete the app from your iphone and also the from you Mac computer, they are just hidden and not deleted pernanently !!!!
There isn't and option to allow you to do this. Maybe this is a safeguard to secure and not to accidently delete purchases but as with most delete functions 2 or more levels can be built in with confirmation at each to minimise this but ultimately the user's need the option to completely temove all unwanted items purchased or not.

You can't delete the purchase record as far as I know.
You can hide it from reappearing as a purchase to download:

  • How do I remove a purchased app completely,

    How do I remove a purchased app completely,from all apple devices

    You can delete it from any device that it is on by pressing and holding it on the device's homescreen for a second or two until they shake and then tapping the 'x' on its top left corner, and you can delete it from your computer's iTunes library by selecting it and pressing the delete button on your keyboard. You can also hide it from the Purchased tabs on your devices so that it doesn't show for redownloading (you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - if a device is on iOS 7 you will probably then need to log out of your account on it by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back for it to disappear from the Purchased tab

  • How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID?

    How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID? A good example is if you are forced to change your email, which you use as your Apple ID.  what if it is a security app and you lose a lot of data if you lose the app? Why are the apps tied to the Apple ID rather than the user? Why is it impossible to globally change the Apple I D?

    All content is tied to the account, but you can change the primary email address on an account e.g. you can log into your account via the Store > View Account on your computer's iTunes and there should be an Edit button to the right of your account id on your account's page, or similarly on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and view your account. Or you can update it by logging into it via this page http://appleid.apple.com . You shouldn't lose any content on the account if you update it.
    After updating the account you may need to log out of your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for it to be 'refreshed' on it

  • How do you remove music or books permanently from account?

    how do you remove music or books permanently from account?

    You can't, you can only hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the cloud for redownloading : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support.
    If your computer is a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then you hide books via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iBookstore homepage in its iBooks app.

  • How do you remove the "purchased" items in the "not on this iPhone" tab in the app store icon?

    I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone. These are apps that I tried and didn't like or didn't work or were useless or whatever. There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them. This is a waste of resources on the iPhone, iTunes and my efforts.

    "I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone."
    You cannot.
    "There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them."  it does not need to be logical to you for it to make sense.
    It is a history of ALL purchases.
    People would be complaining that they mistakenly deleted it and now could never get their app back.  The entire point is to have access to any and all past purchases.
    Maybe when the final product is released you will get your wish.

  • How do you remove a purchase from iCloud

    Is there away to remove apps, purchases from iCloud ?

    There is a way to 'Hide' the old deleted apps from the Purchased History of your iPhone/iPad's iTunes account (prevent from them from showing in Purchase History on your devices).
    Follow these steps:
    On your PC/MAC:
    1. Login into your Apple account on your iTunes on your PC or MAC (Menu > iTunes Store > Sign in);
    2. Go to the side tab on your PC/Mac called 'iTunes Store'
    3. Scroll down that page to the bottom. Click the link 'Purchased' under the heading 'Manage'
    4. Within the 'Purchased' page, click the 'Apps' tab > 'Not in My Library' filter
    5. Go to the the specific deleted Apps that you want to hide. Click the Cross icon on the top left hand corner of each App icon (cross appears when you hover over it). This will hide the app showing here (essentially it will ALSO HIDE the app from your Purchase history on your iPhone/iPad -- complete the steps below for this to take effect)
    THEN on Your iPhone/iPad:
    6. Sign out of your Apple ID account on your iPhone/iPad (Go to the 'Settings' app > Scroll down & Click 'iTunes & App Store' > click on your account (email) > then click 'Sign Out' when it pops up.
    7. Sign back in to your account
    8. Go to the 'App Store' app on your device > Go to Updates > Purchased.
    and voila ..... The previously deleted apps are no longer shown here in your Purchase History and can no longer be downloaded! (they are hidden).
    The apps can be hidden from all your other devices (iPhone/iPad) with same Apple ID provided you also do the sign out steps (6-8 above).  You would also need to do these steps (6-8) each time you hide new apps (i.e. Steps 1-5) on your PC/Mac.
    On your PC/Mac, the apps can be unhidden if you want to (though I doubt you would want to) by going to iTunes Store > Account > Hidden Purchases > Manage
    Hope this helps and easy to follow!
    Please let me know if this works for you.
    Thanks
    Mike

  • HT1420 How do you recover a purchased app?

    Hello,
    How do you recover a previously paid app that does appear under "Purchased" when you click on the 'App Store' app? Note that I have a printed copy of the "Purchased History" which does show the "Locabulary Pro 1.0" app purchased on 4/12/12. Thanks.

    Of course it does not work with 4.3.1.
    I showed you wher it says " iOS 4.3.3 or later,"
    Do you not see that?
    4.3.1 is NOT 4.3.3 or later

  • This may be more of an OS issue than a Curve issue but here goes. How do you remove the installed apps list on my 8530's AppWorld?

    I have never purchased any apps yet but I have tried quite a few and now I'm stuck with this list of more than 20 apps listed in the Uninstalled section of my 8530's Blackberry App World.
    As they are ALL free apps that I tried and DON'T installed on my phone for one reason or another, I would like to remove any existence of these apps from my phone and/or my App World Account.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.
    Regards

    What Part of 'Evil' do you not understand?

    Hello,
    What you ask cannot be done. The AppWorld servers forever remember every app you download to your BB, free or not. Consider the alternative...if those were paid apps and RIM did not retain the purchase record, then when you want the app back later, you'd have to pay again...not a good situation I'd think.
    And, before you say it...I agree...I think that they should be able to differentiate between free and fee-based apps. But, they don't. That's just the way it works.
    Good luck!

  • TS1702 How do you remove an unwanted app?

    I downloaded field agent app and made a mistake in the registration which can not be altered.  Therefore I want to remove the app and start again.

    Hold down on the app icon until all the apps start wiggling around. Now every app should have an "X" beside it. Click the "X" beside the app you wish to remove. Once you are finished removing the app, hit the home button.
