No, that does not delete them.  Here is what I have just sent to Apple support, 
let’s see if they can figured it out! 
Severin

When I connect to the iTunes store I get an error window saying "There was a 
problem downloading some items".  The listed items are items that I have never 
ordered, accessed or been billed for.   My Download window shows no items but 
brings up the same message when I try to download.  
How do I clear this annoying intrusion?  
Thank you
Severin Crisp
