Apr 17, 2016 11:28 AM in response to Nicholas Cox 38by Macology,Based on what I can extrapolate from your post, you have iTunes set to automatically download your purchases across all of your devices. When this option is turned on, anytime you purchase an app, book, song or movie, it will automatically install on your computer, iPod, iPad, iPhone, and computer. There is an Apple support page that documents how to turn this feature on, or off, for whatever platform you are using (iOS, OSX, Windows).
Turn on Automatic Downloads - Apple Support
Once you turn off automatic downloads, you will habe to manually delete the content you don't want stored locally on your machine.
To do this, on PC, go to C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes> iTunes Media and then look in the music folder, which will contain all of your apps, music, movies etc.
To do this on Mac, open Finder > Music > iTunes > iTunes Media
Delete the content you don't want to store locally, and you will regain free space on your HDD. Best of luck.
