Delete app from Apple account 2019 ?

Hi,

I know how to delete an app from my phone but I don't want to see anymore all my app on my account or my app store with the small cloud; and not to hide them. Is it possible to delete them and how now ? thanks

You cannot delete anything in your purchase history with the App Store (which has nothing to do with iCloud, which is Apple’s personal cloud based storage service). You can hide apps however - see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322. But there is no means of deleting individual items in your Apple App or iTunes purchase history.

It has never been possible to do anything but hide apps in your purchase history. Consumer law prevents Apple from allowing that option, since the software licenses you’ve paid for are issued by third party developers. It has always been that way, since the online App, iTunes and iBook stores went live.


You can request Apple delete an AppleID, which in turn deletes all purchases and data associated with the AppleID. But other than total deletion of an AppleID, your AppleID transaction history is permanent and cannot be edited selectively.
