Ah, the iTunes store. So many wonderful apps. So much frustration. Not sure how to delete all those unwanted apps from your iTunes account?

You’ve come to the right place.

Here’s what to do:

1. Launch iTunes on your computer

2. Choose “Applications” under the “Library” menu

3. iTunes will now display the icons of all your downloaded applications

4. Right click the icon of the app you want to delete, then click “delete” on that menu and follow the prompts

Once these apps are gone, they’re gone forever. If you’re not ready to make that big of a commitment, you can just delete apps from your iPhone instead.

One last thing, if you haven’t deleted the app from your iPhone yet, you’ll get this message the next time you sync:

This helps but when I go to the app store on my phone there are apps that don’t show up on my iTunes account on my laptop. Any suggestions
