Welcome, A_A01!

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! From your post, it sounds like you're trying to remove the cloud symbol from appearing next to a previously downloaded application. We can help!

While you cannot remove the cloud icon, you can hide purchases from the App Store. Use the steps in the following support article to help hide these apps:

We hope this helps!

All the best.
