Q: Erase songs out of iTunes account.
Hello,
My wife and I used to use my Apple ID to buy our songs.
As such, the iTunes library contained a mix of both her choices & mine.
Now she has her own Apple ID and device, and my iTunes library on my iPad, iPhone & PC is cluttered with her songs purchased under my ID which I don't really care for.
I've done the basic thing of deleting a song and sending it to the trash, but the album artwork icon keeps re-appearing, telling me it's in the cloud waiting for download.
How can I permanently erase these songs out of my account entirely forever?
Thanks.
iPad Mini, iOS 9.1, Windows 10, iTunes 12.3.1.23

Sunflower,
I take it you also have your own purchases that you have not downloaded, but still want them to show in the cloud?
There is no way to "permanently erase" items that were purchased on your account. You can however find the ones you don't want to see, and hide them:
Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support
