There have been times that I downloaded an app and tried it and did not like it, so I deleted it.

Why does iTunes continue to try to download these apps to my PC? When it starts downloading I have to delete each one - every time! This is getting tiresome.

Delete means Delete - or does it?

You need to go into iTunes, then the app section , find the app and delete, it asks a question and that's it, if you ever want the app back the AppStore remembers and you can re download again if you wish.

I checked the memory usage on my iPad, and somehow the value doesn't change when I deleted an app. Do I need to sync my iPad to refresh its memory?

If its a small app, it may be negligible. Otherwise try a restart (shut down and start back up). I'm not sure if syncing would be necessary.
