Question About Apps and iCloud Beta

So, I'm noticing there are apps that I have deleted that are still available. I deleted them for one reason or another. Is there any way to get rid of them?

(When I say I deleted them, I mean they are not synced to any device, and are not in my iTunes library.)

Don't re-download them.

That's the whole purpose of showing everything you've ever purchased. If they allow for folks to delete them from their purchase history, then they have to deal with folks that "thought" they would never want something again, deleting it, now changing their mind a year later and it's no longer there, calling up and asking "Can you put it back?".

Hmmm...I see now. So even though we don't want them, we still have them available in case we change our mind...gotcha.

It's really no different than what existed before, except they give you a list rather than you needing to find them in the store.

Well at least they give you the option...

I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus.
