Jan 14, 2013 4:54 AM in response to Lawrence Finchby 4naturalselection,It is not true that you cannot delete a purchase from amazon. I finally figured out how to delete a book permanently. You can only do it from your amazon account on a computer, and it takes a LONG time of syncing your devices, before the book disappears from the clouds on the devices, but it finally did and was totally deleted.
I too am unhappy that you cannot permanently delete apps. There are some that I'm happy to have history of in the cloud, and others which I downloaded not realizing I had to subscribe to use them, which I will never subscribe to, so I'd like to not have to sort thru them and see the update me requests, as everyone here has stated. I hope Apple is paying attention to the complaints...... And they should know that, yes, amazon has figured it out.

Jan 14, 2013 5:01 AM in response to 4naturalselectionby 4naturalselection,Did not realize my reply would not include the original post, or be added below the post I was replying to. Can I delete a comment, or is it too, permanent history? I am using an iPad currently.

Jan 15, 2013 2:08 AM in response to Omarlinarezby Imaan Hisham,Another way is to hide the app. Just slide from right to left and then tap "Hide".

Jan 15, 2013 8:47 AM in response to Omarlinarezby vjbj,You can hide ... but not delete from your purchase history. So best solution is to stop using/abandon your id and create a new one. Delete the old ID from your memory but not from Apple memory. Itunes will store your purchase history forever.

Feb 28, 2013 1:18 AM in response to Omarlinarezby Andjdfhuisdfghsdfyugdif,I emailed support. They don't care. Apparently it's "fraud" to remove apps from your history, even if there was no money transacted, no revenue, and nothing to report to the government.
It also took me 3 emails to get them to actually read the content of my email, and not send me a canned response with a link to an irrelevant article.

Mar 2, 2013 5:33 PM in response to Meg St._Clairby Cupertino Guy,Actually, he hasn't had an answer. We KNOW how to hide the apps we've downloaded.. but not remove them. One I've succesfully 'hidden' keeps showing up in my App Stoe window whenever they issue an update.. it's HIDDEN but I get the annoying reminder that somewhere, deep in my system, are a few apps that just absolutely suck, that I never want to use think about, and that are a waste of memory/cpu/resrouces. But there they are, telling me every few weeks about a new update to a product I'll never touch again.
And no, firing up a new account and letting this one die.. means I have to go back and pay for the good apps I've bought, because as far as I know, Apple will not let me move apps to a different account... I know they won't let you do that with itunes purchases.
What this does really is discourage me from taking a chance on apps that I don't know of directly or through trusted real world friends. If Apple still has third party evangelists, who want more apps for Apple products, should be pushing defect left and right.

Mar 2, 2013 5:36 PM in response to Cupertino Guyby Meg St._Clair,Apple Customer Support told him that the record of the purchase cannot be removed from the account. Other people have received the same answer. Posting here isn't going to get a different one.

Mar 2, 2013 5:41 PM in response to Cupertino Guyby Lawrence Finch,He got the answer. What part of NO doesn't he understand?
Have you asked your credit card issuer to delete your purchase history? If so, what was the answer? And that's something that many people wish they could delete.
Have you asked your bank to delete certain checks from your statement? What was the answer?
How about asking your doctor to delete certain visits from our medical record?
