How can I delete an app purchase from the app store?

I approved an app purchase request for my family sharing iCloud account. But now my family has tried the app, and I no longer think it is appropriate for them to use. I would like to delete the purchase entirely so no one on my family sharing account can download it again after it is removed from our devices. How can I do this?

You cannot actually. Purchases cannot be deleted from Purchase history. Mostly due to fiscal requirements.


I doubt Apple Support will be willing delete it for you.


You can hide the purchases however so it cannot be downloaded from purchases again: Hide App Store purchases - Apple Support
