Download cloud

I don't believe you can, the items are there because you once owned them, Been able to remove them from ever having belonged to you is a little dangerous.

Most of my music I have ripped in WMA format from my CDs.

With Music Pass Downloads and Xbox Music Cloud Turned off: My ripped music does not show any Icon to the right. Music that I had downloaded through Zune shows the sound icon that says streaming only.

Enabled Music Pass Downloads: No changes to above

Enabled Music Cloud: Some of my music is showing the cloud and says Matched here and in the cloud for streaming on other devices. Cloud with recycle/refresh arrows and says only available online.

So it appears that by going to settings and turning off Music Pass Downloads and Music Cloud for a few minutes and then turning them both back on it is trying to ID and match my ripped music to albums listed in the cloud instead of showing downloading 348,000
songs it is only downloading about 1,200 which is about what I had for music pass content.

Wait another second! What about cloud saving? can't I have my cousin, who lives in the US, download Halo Reach and then have him store it on the cloud storage, then I could download it from the cloud storage, wouldn't that work?

You console could be finishing downloading an update, or perhaps uploading a file to your Cloud storage. Try disabling background downloads/Cloud storage if it begins to annoy you.

It just deletes from the console and if the game was automatically saved on the cloud, you can download it back from the cloud or it just syncs itself from the cloud.
