Yet Another "How to Delete Apps" question

I'm trying to delete some unused/unwanted apps from within the iTunes structure.  Here's what I've done already:
Deleted directly from my iPad 2 by holding my finger on an app's icon, then tapping the "delete" icon in the uppoer left corner
Connect my iPad 2 to my Mac and to iTunes.  Went from screen to screen hovering my pointer over the apps in question and clicked the "delete" icon in the upper left corner.  Some apps asked if I wanted to keep them or trash them, which I answered "trash."
Turning our attention to the left sidebar in iTunes under the Apps tab, it's labeled "Sync Apps" and has a sort dropdown between the head and the list of apps.  The unwanted apps still reside in thhis list though the checkbox to their left is unchecked.  (see image below)
I have searched through the different discussion on this forum as well as others, with answers that pretty much mirror what I've done so far, with the exception that some people recommended using the "delete" key (which I assume is the same as the "backspace" key, however I've pressed both), which doesn't do anything.
Here is where I have come up against a stone wall. 
How on earth do I get iTunes to delete those apps that I absolutely and positively don't want hanging around?  I don't want them to suddenly appear on my iPad through some vagaries of the sync process and I don't want them showing up within iTunes.
My setup:
A 64GB WiFi iPad 2 running 4.3.5
A 2009 Mac Mini running Lion and iTunes 10.4 (build 80)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I feel like such a dipstick sometimes.  I'll fret over a problem for hours, then post a question somewhere, then minutes later it seems that a lightbulb goes of over my head.
One thing I forgot to do was go to the Apps tab under the Library area of iTunes.  <headsmack!>
Going there and viewing the app icons, I found that selecting an app and either right-clicking and selecting "delete", or simply hitting my "backspace" key cause it to disappear, both from the Apps panel in the Library, but also in the list of Apps next to my iPad screens.
Sorry for the intrusion.

    You can't.
    You can hide the purchases, but you have to do that on your computer using iTunes. You cannot do it directly on the iPad.

    im not sure how to delete apps on my mac

    Well normally all you have to do is delete (Move to Trash) the .App file but then some program place things in different Library folder around you hard drive. None of thos other files maen anythiing with out the app beinig run except for taking up disk space.
    So apps come with uninstall programs but most don't. If you run the installer again you may find an uninstall app included.
    Here is a web page that can give you more information.

    how to delete app from iPad mini

    Press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How to delete apps on an IPod Touch 4G Running iOS6

    Hi. I have a iPod Touch 4G with 32GB of memory running iOS 6. I'm also syncing it with an iMac running Yosemite.
    I decided to delete a bunch of apps from my iPod touch because I want more room for music and podcasts.
    I deleted the apps on the iPod touch but when I synced it with my Mac using iTunes, some (maybe all, I'm not sure) deleted apps were transferred back to my iPod Touch from my Mac.
    So,  I'm wondering: how do I delete those apps on my iPod Touch so they aren't added back when syncing with my Mac?
    Thanks.

    Okay, sorry. Looks like I can delete the apps from iTunes on Mac. Please ignore my question.

  • How to delete apps from multiple devices?

    I have multiple IOS devices that share a single Apple-id.  Is there a way to delete the app from all IOS devices automatically, or do I have to delete it from each device?
    Also, why do deleted APPs come back when the devices are sync'd (via cable) to my Mac?
    Brian

    Regarding your first question, I believe you have to delete them from each device --- unless you first delete the app from iTunes, then sync your i-device using iTunes.
    Regarding the second question, the key is to delete the app from iTunes on your Mac.  That would end the undesireable behavior.

    How do we delete apps from ipod 4 when using same account as iphone 4s, we can delete from the phone but not the ipod, and when i get an app on my phone it automatically comes up on the ipod and visa versa, now ipod is full,

    Read the article from which the thread was posted, it clearly defines how to use multiple iDevices on a single computer.

  • How to delete apps download?

    how do you delete app downloads? i still have the app on download history and it will not delete. any answers?

    I don't think you can delete or remove them completely from the Purchase list. They can only be hidden by doing a left or right swipe on the app and then tap the Hide button.

  • How to Delete App Icons?

    I know I can't delete the icons that came with the phone, but how do I delete Apps I installed?

    The fastest way to delete an application is to
    1. Hold down on an icon button until all the icons start to move.
    2. Touch the "x" in the upper left corner of the icon of the application you want to delete.
    3. Respond to the messages that pop up and the application will be deleted.
    If all the icons are still moving, press the home button below the screen until they stop.

  • How to delete APP

    I just got a free app and now want to delete it. I can just trash it - finder asks for admin password and the app is deleted.
    Now, when I go back to the app store and search for the app that I have deleted, it still says that it is installed??
    Any way to fix this?

    Just figured out how to delete -
    Delete the app - drag to trash.
    Enter admin PW
    then restart your mac and you can download it again. It still says that it is in purchases but you can re-download.
    I always want to be know how to remove things before I start loading computers up with stuff

  • TS1702 how to delete app from iPad?

    have eror with app, want to dump it and completely reinstall,
    how do I dump it from my iPad.
    thanks,
    should be simple.

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. You cannot delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
