    Welcome to the Apple community.


    The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.


    You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

    Why is it so important to Apple maintaining records and history on free apps I have downloaded?  Hiding them doesn't do any good that's like saying I don't like my shoes anymore so I'll just hide them instead of throwing them away. It's annoying that Apple does not give me control over this. You mean to tell me I can erase anything else I've ever done on a computer or phone... except this?  They are storing a permanent history on every user and that's creepy.
