Hi: I have a question regarding deleting apps from the app store. I have an IPhone 4S running the latest IOS. When I open the app store on my phone and go to the update page I tap on the purchased heading and all of the apps I have ever donwloaded come up. I am wondering if it is possible to delete the apps I no longer want from this list?Thanks. Nancy

As far as I know, no there is not. apple would have to remove the apps themselves or something, at least I think so. But don't quote me on that. I could be very wrong.

Hi. I'm pretty sure you can't delete them as such, but i think you can hide them somehow. I think I read about it a while ago. It involved signing into your account in the iTunes Store in iTunes on your computer. Sorry I can't give you any better answer than that, but if I come across it again I'll let you know. In the mean time try googling it.

To delete you're apps plug in you're iPhone to you're computer next open iTunes and then go to the apps section under sources then tap to the list of apps then press you're applications key then select delete the apps will be removed. I hope this helps.
