Despite various sites and Amazon saying you can permanently delete forever books no longer wanted on this kindle it appears you can't and everything stays in the cloud.My previous kindle allowed me to delete wat I wanted from my kindle and then the book was gone forever.Now Iam told you can still do this from going to Manage my kindle...going to library and deleting there....all it does is remove from my laptop screen but not the actual book which still is in my cloud.Keep being told by others that why worry what is in the cloud but feel it is odd you can't get rid of all unwanted books like before......I don't want to deregister as would lose all entries but have so many books now I wish to permanently get rid of....is there any way round this please....can't believe in this day and age this is an impossible task....any help please...thanks

go to manage my kindle, find the book you want to delete, choose the actions drop down and choose delete from library. You will be asked are you sure and warned that if you want it back, you will have to buy it again.

Have tried this numerous times...as my query says above.This simple instruction should work but it doesn't...do you have a kindle fire hd then and are able to delete books from cloud from your library?
I use kindle on my ipad and yes that works for me.
Question Author
it only is taken off the screen but still remains on the kindle itself.
No one seems to be able to answer what Iam asking.Must be someone who can tell me what to do on my kindle itself or confirm that you can't and it is maybe just a marketing ploy to fill up the cloud memory so you have to buy a new kindle!
Question Author
so you don't have an actual kindle fire hd tablet then? I need someone who does who can help and who is successful at permanently deleting books
I have same problem with the kindle app on my iPad. If you delete off the app then it stores it on the cloud. How do we get it off the cloud - good name for a song!! N
You can't do it from the Kindle Fire itself, you need to log into your amazon account and do it that way.

Have a look here: http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/delete-books-kindle-fire-cloud-22966.html
I have the same problem with music and audible books on my iPad etc and even when I thought I had them deleted from everywhere - they popped back up on icloud....and when you do any sort of sync - they reappear .. I guess they are determined that we use up so much space we are obliged to buy more space..Grrrr!
Like you - I could be very glad to find an answer!

looked and followed instructions as by the entry from cheekychops above but still the books remain in my cloud.Amazon tell me the same info and say to go to manage my kindle,actions and delete and no one seems to understand that it simply is only deleted from the laptop screen and not the kindle...all this sync business isn't working at all and is all another thing to try but to no avail. Any better help that works would be much appreciated and don't want to be re told what I have already done numerous times.Thanks
Had the same problem originally with my Kindle and found that if I turned the wireless facility on when "deleting" from the library, and then leaving the wireless on for an hour or so, the books seemed to "vanish".I've tried this several times since and it always seems to work.
Good luck.

To FBG40,thanks for your help.Hope you will get to read this reply to you.
I followed what you said and it allowed me to delete a book permanently or at least it seems to have vanished unless it is lurking elsewhere! So I proceeded to delete 2 more.....no such luck despite doing the same.They now just have a read and white symbol next to them.First book that was fine deleting vanished after 15 mins but this has now been more than 2 hours....perhaps they limit it to 1 aday!!!!!!
Just read your reply, glad to see something happened, if only the once !! Keep trying !

You can contact Amazon who will delete it permanently and completely for you I think
