I am having trouble getting rid of some of my apps permantly, I would like any help you can give me.
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ), iOS 6.0.2
I am not getting the 'x' on any of the apps and when I go to restrictions it asks for a 4 digit code that I do not know. Any ideas?
If it is a free game app or any type of free app, (NBC Evening News, for example), why would it matter if I wanted it completely and permenently removed?
Is there any way to permentently remove free apps from an IPad?
Thank you.

The steps provided previously completely and permanently remove it from the iPad.
The Purchase list is not on your iPad. It's just a list of things you've bought / downloaded.
You delete them on the iPad and specify that you don't want them reinstalled on your computer iTunes or delete them completely from your computer iTunes.
What kind of problems?
Deleting an App off an iPad is as simple as holding down on it until it wiggles and pressing the (x) badge that pops up in the corner of it.
That removes it entirely from the device.
If its coming back for some reason, then there's something else you are doing or not doing.
As Jim points out, if the App was synced to a computer running iTunes and then removed from the iPad, a future sync will put it back onto the iPad.
You would need to delete it from iTunes on the computer as well.
Thank you for your help...I did remove them from my ipad screen, but they were still under purchased in the apps app. I will do what you suggested in iTunes.
The Purchased list is just that, a list of all your purchases, the App is not on your device anymore. Should you ever want to redownload you can do so from there and in the case of Apps you paid for you can do so for free.
You cannot delete Apps from that list as that would defeat its purpose of allowing you to download purchased apps without having to re-pay for them. Its apple's way of remembering what apps you already payed for and can download again, without charging you for them again.
You can however hide them if you wish:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
Thanks so much. So simple and yet I was in the dark about it. đ Cynthia
Glad I could help.
After u remove one, u get the cloud and down arrow in App Store. How do u make it forget u downloaded it?
As has been explained in this thread. You cannot delete a purchase from the purchased list. You can only hide it.

The app don't show any x when it wiggles.
If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
Could anybody else have added the restrictions code e.g. familt member or is it a word iPad ?
If you don't know the restrictions code then do you know whether it was on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
How do I permantly remove apps from ipad?
