The topic sounds simple. But what I wish to do may not be simple. These days when you purchase a movie you do not have to download the entire movie to your hard drive which is good because movies can be streamed over the network saving valuable hard drive space. So how do I delete movies that had to be downloaded from my Mac and have only the stream option? Thanks..

If the movies have a cloud beside them and are streaming only, you can't delete them. You can "hide" the movie from your purchased content.

No I was talking about deleting the 89 previous movies I downloaded to my hard drive and only having the streaming option for those movies so I can save valuable hard disk space, but still be able to watch the movies as long as I have an internet connection.

There should be an option to delete or remove download so that you only have the cloud. Did you right click on the movies to see what options are available?
