HT204266 How do I permanently delete an app

I have a number of Apps that I have upgrades from Lite to full or that I no longer want.  I can stop them appearing on my iPad when I sync, but want to get rid of them completely. Do I delete them from my computer to do this?
Thanks
Pat

I fully agree darkslayer1234. If the app was free why is it still attached to my history? even if I paid for it I (and that's a BIG CAPITAL I) should have the freedom to delete it and risk paying again. This history thing *****, how many years will I be haunted by immature, inappropriate apps that I had 'thrown away"?
Someone at the planning stage just did not consider the full effect on the end user.
Apple should allow me to export my WANTED apps to a new account and disable the old one!

  • 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.

  • How do I permanently delete an app from my iPad and App Store?

    I would like to permanently delete apps from my iPad and my Purchased list in the App Store. How do I do this? These apps are ones that I have tried and found to be useless or do not work correctly. I have deleted apps from iTunes Store, but I cannot get rid these unwanted apps on my iPad and this is very annoying.
    Apple may think that users out there who may change their mind. However I am not one of them. If something is useless and does not work correctly, then I do not want to see it again. Some of these apps I have paid for, but I am prepared to accept that loss as a bad purchase. So Apple, please provide a facility to allow users to permanently delete apps from the App Store. Obviously, Apple would have to include the appropriate warnings that permanently deleting apps cannot be reversed.

    Hi ..
    You can delete the currenlty installed apps. Hold down an app until all the apps jiggle. Then on each app tap the x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once to to stop the apps from jiggling.
    And you can hide purchases >  iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    But purchase history cannot be delete.
    "Obviously, Apple would have to include the appropriate warnings that permanently deleting apps cannot be reversed."
    Apps can re downloaded using the same Apple ID for free >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do I permanently delete free apps from my purchased apps to eliminate any future updates from those unwanted apps?

    I want to permanently delete unwanted free apps from my purchased apps on the App Store.  How?

    Mac App Store- Hiding and unhiding purchases

    You cannot remove items from your list of purchases. That is simply a list of receipts kept by Apple for your account.

  • TS1424 how do i permanently delete an app from my ipad in the purchased apps section that has already been deleted?

    I am trying to delete an app I no longer want or need completely from my purchased apps history. I deleted it from my main page but I dont want it to show up any more period. Any suggestions??

    You cannot delete it form your purchase history, as it is  a history of all of your purchases.  That is the point of your purchase history.
    You can hide it.

  • How do you permanently delete an app so it can't be re downloaded or backed up?

    I recently broke up with my boyfriend of two years
    who is still attached to my iTunes Account.
    We both Downloaded an app called "My Utility's"
    which is a secret file locked with a password,
    He has photos of me in this file which are personal
    That he is now threatening to put up over the Internet.
    I was just wondering if there may be a way that I could
    block or delete the app from my Apple ID or Account
    so that the app could be deleted off all my Apple Devices
    and he would be unable to get it back
    if he were to try restore it to the Last backup ?

    They are separate apps with separate passwords,
    You can save websites, notes, pictures and videos
    because we don't see each other at all I wouldn't even have the chance to go near his phone.
    He's doesn't sync his phone with my lap top so I can't delete it and than sync his phone.
    So I need a way to delete it through iCloud & my Apple ID so it deletes off his iPhone
    Without me physically having his phone
    And then ill have to do a new back up so he can't get it back
    Even if I did see him his phone doesn't leave his hand I'm desperate to get this app off it
    Even if I have to hack it (don't think that's possible) and as parthetc as it sounds
    Any suggestion would help
