If you are syncing through iTunes to manage content on your iPad and iPhones (not using iCloud), you can "filter" what goes on each device in iTunes.


To do this, select the device in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Apps tab. On that screen, select the apps you want on the device. Apply the change.


So each device can have a different set of apps, from your overall library in iTunes that has everything. There is no need to delete the app from your iTunes library in order for it to be delete from a device.


But if you DO want to delete an app from your iTunes library, select Apps in the iTunes sidebar (under LIBRARY). Over to the right, find and select the app you want to delete. Right (or Control) click on the app and select Delete.
