MacArsenal - Discover and download the coolest software for your Mac.

I am an iPad user. I have discovered that there is no file delete button in iPad iTunes, which is really not convenient. That is strange and unreasonable for users. Is there no way for us to delete the invalid or unwanted document and files in ITunes on iPad?

Fortunately, I find a method to delete the files from iTunes. According to the following process, the method is easy but may be undiscovered by you.

For example, I have surfed the YouTube websites on Mac and downloaded my favorite videos of Lady Gaga with Free YouTube downloader for Mac. The videos automatically appear on the iTunes. Then I sync it to my iPad and the document lists in iTunes on iPad.

Then I intend to play the video on iTunes on iPad, but occasionally I add the YouTube video file that iTunes won't play. So I would rather delete it .Okay, the file doesn't even appear in the app—meaning I can't delete it from there. Now what?

I find the file name from the document list, highlight it and then press the Delete key on your keyboard. ITunes pops up a dialog box asking for my confirmation. Are you sure you want to delete the selected document from your iPad?, Cancel or Delete. Click Delete and it is OK. The process is the same with deleting my PDF files.

Well, you may consider it a small trick. In fact, iTunes strangely lacks a Delete button in this File Sharing area, and right-clicking a document does no good. So do not spare time on finding the delete button. Maybe we can claim Apple to add a delete button on file sharing for iPad users.
