As Apple encourages users to sign up for iTunes Match and to use their iCloud service, the prominence of features like these will only become more apparent.

From there, uncheck “Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases.” No longer will albums you may have purchased, decided you didn’t like, and then deleted show up in your iTunes. Your library should be back to the way it was – full of the music you know, love and want to listen to.
