No, there is no way to do this at the moment.

This really makes me grumpy, I want to know how to delete the purchase history as well. I deleted all those apps for a very specific reason, and don't want them showing up again. Apple needs to make a way to delete them permanantly. Im all for being to get stuff you downloaded in the past back but come on, there are apps Id rather not remember I ever purchased .....

Of course I was joking when I mentioned the "class action", it's called sarcasm. On the merits, if you have the right to use up to 5 iOS devices with your iTunes account it's relatively normal and not unusual to have it share through the family. For instance, we have an iPad used by guests & children to access the iTunes content. We want to be in control of the things guests see & access to. Certainly not the history of the apps we have tried in the past. What next? Would you do it with the history of safari? Or your emails perhaps? It is a mistake and should be considered as such. I have used the feedback page anyway...

Every beta I've ever been involved in, I've opted into and could opt out of.


Tonight, after having done nothing new, I look at the app store on my iPhone and find this ridiculously long list of deleted free apps, some kept for less than a minute, (that also appear in iTunes on my Mac, nothing upgraded, apps that never even synched once with my computer) that I cannot edit.


I didn't ask to participate in this "beta" I simply used my phone without updating anything and found a major change. So maybe you should reconsider "how a Beta works".
