Q: How do I delete apps off of my iCloud on my iphone 4s?

I am trying to delete the apps off on my iCloud and I'm having no success. I am currently using my iPhone 4s and have tried looking through the settings and app store. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

A:

That is the Purchased screen, and when you click on "Not on This Phone" it shows all Apps (or Music if you click the Music option, etc.) in your App Purchase/Download history. You can Hide the apps, but you cannot delete them from your Purchase/Download history:

Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support

You have to do this in iTunes on a computer. When you get to the screen that displays the apps, you will not see the "x" in the upper left-hand corner of the app, but if you hover over it with your mouse, and then click, it will hide it.

Not sure what you are trying to do? Apps in the cloud are not on your device. Where are you seeing the apps? What screen, exactly?

Again, not sure what you are seeing or asking about? In the App Store under Updates, all the apps that have been recently updated are listed along with any new ones that need to be updated. Where are the apps you are asking about listed? What do they say next to them? (Update or Open)?
