Q: Permanently Deleting Apps from Itunes

Feb 22, 2016 5:37 AMby Demo,Are you trying to delete then so that the students can not access them? You can not permanently delete apps from iTunes. They are part of the purchase history that is associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase those apps. You can hide the apps in iTunes, but not delete them permanently.

When I move my mouse pointer there (OS X 10.10.5) it changes from an arrow to a finger indicating that it's clickable, and clicking hides the app

I would just keep trying - or quit iTunes, reboot your Mac and then try again. It should work as King Penguin has described it to work.
