Hello Dave, Ah, now I understand your objective.
In short, here is how it works. I'm keeping in mind that your ultimate objective is to both remove the app from your phone and from your iTunes Library. There are two ways of accomplishing this but regardless of which method you use, remember that if the app exist on your phone, unless you change a setting in iTunes on your PC, the phone's list of apps will always take precedence when next connected to your PC. Therefore, if, while the phone is not connected to your PC, you delete an app from your PC's iTunes Library, yet the app exist on your phone, attaching the phone to your PC will simply copy the app from the phone back to the PC giving you the mistaken impression that you were unsuccessful in deleting the app from your PC, in the first place. So, if you want to both remove an app from your iTunes Library and also delete it from your phone in one session, so-to-speak, I suggest the following sequence: 1. Before connecting your phone to the PC, reboot both devices. 2. Connect the phone to your PC and open iTunes on your PC. 3. >From within iTunes on your PC, select the iPhone and then go into its list of >apps. Select the apps, one-by-one, that you wish to remove from your phone. >After you have selected all of the apps you wish to remove from the phone, >sync the device by clicking on the Apply button. You will need to confirm >your selection. AT this point, the apps will have been removed from the phone >but are still in your iTunes Library. 4. Disconnect the phone from your PC. 5. While still in iTunes on your PC, locate the list of apps and delete the unwanted apps using the method of your choice. At this point, the apps will have been removed from both your device and from your iTunes Library. The next time you connect your phone, and subsequently sync it, the apps will not return. One more thing, you cannot remove your purchase history from your Apple ID. This is of no real consequence given your current objective.

Running itunes version iTunes 12.1.2.27 64-bit Using windows 8.1 64 bit Using window-eyes screen reader. As far as deleting apps, yes, I can delete them from the phone, I just wanted a faster way to do that since the only way I know if doing it is to do the double tap and hold and then delete with another double tap. I should really just get a Bluetooth keyboard. I'd like to delete both from my library and from the iphone, I just want those apps gone from my account, but mostly off the phone. I will try your suggestion about deleting and resyncing apps. Thanks for that process, I appreciate it. It makes sense, I just couldn't figure out the sequence of steps to do it in. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M.

To be honest, your post is somewhat vague. For example, what version of iTunes for Windows are you using? and, just so we know, what version of Windows? It would also be quite helpful to know what software screen reading solution you use on your PC. The scenario you described in your post, is also confusing because it sounds, to me at least, as though you are attempting to delete unwanted apps from your iTunes Library, itself, as opposed to merely removing the apps from the iPhone. There is a big difference between these two operations. Assuming that you merely wish to delete apps from your iPhone, only, I suggest that you use the delete gesture on your iPhone, itself, to remove an app. Now I realize that this does not answer your question, directly but it will get you started in the right direction in terms of cleaning up your iPhone. To begin the troubleshooting process, I suggest the following: 1. While the phone is not connected to your PC, reboot both the phone and the PC. 2. Connect your phone to your PC and sync it with iTunes. 3. After successfully syncing, disconnect the phone from the PC. 4. On the phone, itself, delete an app. 5. Connect the phone to the PC and sync it with iTunes. 6. Before disconnecting the phone, yet again, explore the phone, itself, to see if the app reappears anywhere on the Springboard. If it does not, then all is well. If it does, let us know.

I keep trying to delete apps using itunes on my pc and want to delete them from my iphone 6 running iOS 8.4 But when I select my iphone from within itunes, then apps, then my iphone apps, then right click, hit delete, I select either the keep files option or move to recyle bin, doesn’t matter which. Then if I sync, the apps all come back to my iphone. It’s really annoying and I don’t know how to stop it and it’s really annoying, I know, I said that already. But what do I do? There are a good many apps I just don’t use or that weren’t accessible and are still clogging up my iphone.
