Deleting iTunes App Store purchases from my account

Solution 1:

Sorry but there is no way, at this time, to remove purchased (include free) apps on iTunes AppStore. Same problem with the Mac AppStore.

I've already asked for this feature at iTunes Feedbacks, and you can do the same to make Apple understand what we want.

The ability to hide purchases from the iOS app store should cover most real-life situations where you would normally delete a past purchase. It also protects those who have lost control of their accounts and someone maliciously deletes past purchases. The idea that the past is unchangeable, but we wish to hide some items from prominence works for many.

Solution 2:

iTunes 10.5 is now released and contains this feature. Go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Apps and then you can click the X to Hide purchases.

Note that there is still a new section "Hidden Purchases" where you can view the ones you've hidden (and the ability to unhide them.)

There is no capability to actually delete a past purchase, just to hide them from view.

Solution 3:

you can hide any purchased items. Instructions for OS X 10.01/iOS 8/iTunes 12 (though similar to the previous versions).

In the Mac App Store:

1. Click Purchases
2. Rclick on the app you want to hide
3. choose "Hide Purchase"

In the iTunes store on your iOS Device, slide from right to left and choose hide.

In the iTunes store in iTunes:

1. Go to the Apps section of iTunes
2. Click "App Store" (last item)
3. Click "Purchased" (on right, near account info)
4. Find app you want to hide and click the "x" in upper left of icon
5. When asked if you want to hide the purchase, click "Hide"

Solution 4:

No, but customer feedback certainly drove this feature and more feedback might bring about the filtering you desire.

I would use recommendations more if I could select some downloads to ignore.

Control over filtering out purchased items from the re-download list would make that feature so much more useful.

Control is always nice, but once one has 300 apps on iTunes and have deleted 100 after never using them again, the list can have a large portion of duds as it stands.
