Tap & hold the icon of the app until all app icons start jiggling. Tap the X that appears in the upper left corner of all the apps you wish to delete and affirm any questions regarding deleting the app(s).
No my friend I have done that already but if you look in purchased
On the iPad the apps are still there and the other half does not appreciate
That they are there
You cannot remove the apps from the purchased list on your App store account. They are there in case should you need to download them in the future. They do not take up any space either on your phone or on iCloud. So why do you want to "delete" them.?
You can hide the purchased apps so they don't appear as available, if you really can't stand them showing as available.
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Support - Apple
There is no way to permanently remove it from your purchase history. Hiding the purchase is the best thing you can do.
There is a way to 'Hide' the old deleted apps from the Purchased History of your iPhone/iPad's iTunes account (prevent from them from showing in Purchase History on your devices).
Follow these steps:
On your PC/MAC:
1. Login into your Apple account on your iTunes on your PC or MAC (Menu > iTunes Store > Sign in);
2. Go to the side tab on your PC/Mac called 'iTunes Store'
3. Scroll down that page to the bottom. Click the link 'Purchased' under the heading 'Manage'
4. Within the 'Purchased' page, click the 'Apps' tab > 'Not in My Library' filter
5. Go to the the specific deleted Apps that you want to hide. Click the Cross icon on the top left hand corner of each App icon (cross appears when you hover over it). This will hide the app showing here (essentially it will ALSO HIDE the app from your Purchase history on your iPhone/iPad -- complete the steps below for this to take effect)
THEN on Your iPhone/iPad:
6. Sign out of your Apple ID account on your iPhone/iPad (Go to the 'Settings' app > Scroll down & Click 'iTunes & App Store' > click on your account (email) > then click 'Sign Out' when it pops up.
7. Sign back in to your account
8. Go to the 'App Store' app on your device > Go to Updates > Purchased.
and voila ..... The previously deleted apps are no longer shown here in your Purchase History and can no longer be downloaded! (they are hidden).
The apps can be hidden from all your other devices (iPhone/iPad) with same Apple ID provided you also do the sign out steps (6-8 above). You would also need to do these steps (6-8) each time you hide new apps (i.e. Steps 1-5) on your PC/Mac.
On your PC/Mac, the apps can be unhidden if you want to (though I doubt you would want to) by going to iTunes Store > Account > Hidden Purchases > Manage > Apps.
However, so long as you DO NOT unhide any apps and no one you know goes to the very specific areas of your iTunes Store in the iTunes program on your PC/Mac (and when you are signed in), then you should be fine!
Hope this helps and easy to follow!
Please let me know if this works for you.
Thanks
