    Hi,

     

    The cloud you see next to the App is showing that it is an App that has been purchased under your Apple ID, but which is not on the device you are viewing your purchased items on. It simply means that this is a purchased item that is in the cloud and not on your device.

     

    You can hide Apps (in iTunes on your computer), but you cannot delete them from your purchase history.

     

    Cheers,

    I understand this, my question is can I delete the could icon? I hide the app on my history but the cloud icon remains, is there any way to get rid of the icon as well?
