Q: How to permanently delete a movie from iCloud, so that it can no longer be accessed (not simply hidden)?

I am looking to remove items from the hidden folder in my iTunes account.

 

There is a solution for deleting music, however, a different prompt screen when deleting a movie does not provide the same solution.

 

Following is the prompt when deleting a movies

 

1st - "Are you sure you want to delete the selected movie from your iTunes library?"

This movie will also be deleted from any iPod, iPhone, or iPad which synchronizes with your iTunes library. ( - ) Do not ask me again.

 

2nd - "Do you want to move the selected movie (which was downloaded from the iTunes Store) to the Trash, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder?"

Only files in the iTunes Media folder will be moved to the Trash. (Keep File) (Move to Trash)

    Movies are not stored in iCloud. That's the reason you get a different prompt.

    When you delete a movie from iTunes the 1st. option above is on instances where you have the same movie in other mobile devices.

    2nd. option allow you to delete the movie either from iTunes list (Keep File) only or remove from your computer completely (Move to Trash) and from the iTunes too.

    Now, if you purchase a movie from iTune Store you can safetely delete it from your computer (Move to Trash option) and stream it later. (Check this link for how to: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.)
