You can't. All the apps/books/jingles/movies/etc. you have acquired with your AppleID remain associated to it forever as long as they exist in the App Store inventory. Note that rights-to-use are linked to the AppleID, not the devices. However, you can hide them: Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support
