if you want to delete an app for good from the itunes library, go to
the apps section in the sidebar (which you may need to show), not the
apps tab when a device is connected. two different sections.

next, select which apps you want to delete and hit the backspace key.
it will ask if you want to just remove the apps from the itunes library
or also move them to the trash. 

you can redownload them at a later time (if they're available).
