How do I delete apps from the iCloud

I also think this is stupid to not be able to permanently delete an app. We have all downloaded an app that is completely useless or just terrible that we would like to forget about. I don't want to be stuck with the trash from several years ago--I didn't want it then, why would I want it now? Just a horrible way to gum up the works and make things more complicated.

I don't know if this will do it but it's worth a shot. Sign into Itunes and go to account preference and then manage devices you will see iphone associated with icloud. form there you can remove the device. good luck

I ain't getting this until this is fixed. I don't want to be stripped out fully with all the ancient purchases that I made ever since the iPhone is released. That really *****. Apple to better fix this as many of the current iPhone users aren't going to e happy with this at all. I don't want to remove my device. I have my whole family using iPhones iPods and the iPad which is with one iTunes account and deleting the device doesn't help. I just want to be the administrator of what I want in which device.

I am a hard core fan of apple have all their products and in fact switched my entire office users to Mac. I didn't expect from apple who always comes out with the smartest product in the industry. Apple better get this fixed before the final release, before it hurts lot of your followers.

I doesn't delete device per say. It deletes the icloud account(I say account because I no longer see the icloud under mange devices). Even after deleting icloud from my account and then syncing iphone I can see iphone still contains the information of a apps downloaded from day one with icloud download button to the right of them

May I suggest that all respond to apple via their Feedback option.

I have done so as I regard the unrestricted publication of personal information (irrespective of its sensitivity) as a gross lack of personal information governance and have requested that Apple resolve this by either:

1. Only provide the unedited list after entering the individual Apple ID and Password on the device - per session

2. Provide an edit facility in iTunes to completely remove or delete unwanted items

The more people that pose feedback, the more likely it is that notice will be taken.

We have no compromising aps, however our son has tried every one of the 999 bazillion free games. The list on myphone is a joke. Absolutely no practicle use at all.

Yeah i think im going to android instead this is stupid. Apple you need to fix this, the idea of iCloud is kind of nice but its useless right now because i only have one device 😟

AMEN, Samiam2244

Click on your cloud on the menu bar, then click OPEN WEB APP.

You will then see RECENT DROPS

Click the small box in the upper left corner of the item you want to delete

Then click DELETE SELECTED

Where is this menu bar you are talking about?

Here is what I found as a work around. Go to your app store settings in iPhone then select remove this device. It has verbiage that says if you remove device apps will no longer be available.

my previous post doesn't work. last night it was fine. Today it's back like a rash. I too would like to know where the cloud icon is. I have been to me.com as well and don't see it.

Not being able to delete apps from iCloud is insane. What if I'm married and my wife looks at the "not on my iphone" section of the app store and finds out I've used an e-dating app? What then?

The right to marital infidelity is my God-given right as an American!

Apple have to sort this out, some users will have hundreds if not thousands of apps, this will make it unusable if you can't delete from the cloud! Also, here is an idea, apple can collect the data of apps that have been deleted and rank them accordingly, this is will be better than their current ranking system, as let's face it, most of us buy apps almost blind. Even with good reviews you still never sure if it's going to work for you until you have tried it. Showing a deletion ratio, I recon will be useful to us!

@RyanN96 I don't really believe that you'll go through the trouble to switch phones for this, iCloud is not even really fully available to access yet, you don't know what kind of control you'll have over the old apps. I'm sure you'll be able to delete apps once ios5 and icloud are officially released. I even read that it looks like we'll be able to finally merge 2 apple id's.

So stop being such a whiner, it's not like apple reads these threads and if they do, they're not going to be intimidated by your empty threat to leave them.
