OK - I'm interrested in uploading to the cloud, not downloading from the cloud. I downloaded some purchased songs, but there seems to be no way to delet them from my phone. No swiping, or deleting from itunes, or new playlist formed. Anyone have any help on this?
Since iOS 5 is still i Beta (as is iCloud for that matter) No-one can answer this. If you've downloaded stuff to your existing phone, I imagine you'll have to plug it in and go into iTunes then deselect the song(s) you don't want on your phone any more.
It's all still beta, yes the purchase history is annoying, but nobody died, so get over it, I'm sure it will be addressed either in or after GA, as I'm sure like has been posted here by others that there will be those on the development team whom will be feeling the same pain, plus the developer community who are feedbacking back into the beta trials as we speak.
What's with everyone's impatence? For those of you who have privacy concerns with adult material on your devices and it being available to your children or minors, then log out of app store.
There is an easy way to delete songs if you have downloaded via ICloud! On the summary screen tick the "manually manage music and videos" you can now swipe delete on the selected device!
I can not reply on how to delete a music file or app (other than removing it from itunes or main iphone screen) but I found a way to remove the TV shows downloaded from the cloud.
Be sure you have the TV saved to your library prior to removing it from your iphone. Disclaimer on the iphone states you might not be able to download it again.
Here is how I did it.
1. Just go into the show via videos.
2. Find the TV show and go into the show list.
3. Swipe from left to right and delete button should appear.
4. Just hit the delete and it should remove.
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. I had the problem having downloaded songs from the cloud I had bought from my iPhone. Couldn't seem to delete them but could not find them on my Mac. I tried the idea suggested for the TV shows and it worked for my songs! Just swipe to the right on your iPhone and delete them. They do not appear anymore once the sync is done with iTunes.
Thanks again...

This is what information i was able to find on the icloud website linked into itunes website
basically saying with purchsing itunes match you wont be able to delete previously bought
tracks with icloud, which means £25 pound to go down the drain, hope this helps because im
having the exact same problem

I have fond that if you swipe you finger across a song or a album that it gives you the option to delete it. It is not the most ideal, but it worked for me. Even with over 4000 song's I went in to album mode and was able to delete all the ons that I had downloaded over time. fast and reasonably painless...
There is a way to remove the cloud music from your phone. Go into settings/iTunes. Disable and re-enable iTunes Match and it re-syncs your music and playlists. I deleted about 3/4 of my playlists from iTunes and doing this finally freed up some space on my phone. I hope this helps.
This sound's like a bit of over kill, but would do the trick as well...
How do I delete downloads from the cloud?
