How do i completely remove uninstalled apps because they are still taking up my data?

I have uninstalled lots of apps but they are not completely removed from my phone's database and they are still taking up my memory, i was just wondering how do you completley uninstall and remove them?

Did you already try to sync again with your PC? If your data is part of the "Other" section on your phone, you'll have to restore your device to get that space back.

  • How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ?

    How can I completely remove my App Store purchases ? I delete certain apps from the iPod but they still are listed under 'purchased apps'.
    I need to completely remove then from history as well

    You can't permanently delete any items from you purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : hiding and unhiding.

    Thank you for the help, have sorted it through Restrictions in General settings now : )
    No more mysterious app purchases on my c.card now thank god !!
    You would think they would set as default that Password was required - Imediatly . But they know there likely to get more purchases the way the default set it..

  • How can I completely remove failed App Store downloads?

    I have two purchases from the app store that have failed - they will not complete no matter what I try. How can I completely remove them to start again? Thanks,

    is what I'm staring at. I've tried all sorts and this is where I get. No errors. No messages. Nothing.
    What is this machine doing and why isn't it simple to clear the cache/temp files and go again with the download?

  • How does one completely remove unwanted Apps? It seems that prior to IOS 5.0 I could do that and now cann't.

    I am totally new to APPLE products and have for years avoided getting anything APPLE due to interface issues with other operations systems.  I have unwanted apps and want to completely remove them from my IPhone 3GS with IOS 5.0... I seems that in the past (prior to the IOS 5.0 upgrade) I was able to do this, and now I can't.
    Another issue; attempted to download the manual for the IOS 5.0 upgrade, system states that it has downloaded however it's nowhere to be found, hmmmm?

    First of all where do you want to delete your apps from, your iPhone or iTunes? If you delete your games from iTunes and keep them on your phone, when you connect your iDevice it'll sync, if you delete it from your iPhone and leave it on your iTunes, it'll still sync. So if you want to delete all apps, 1 Delete all apps on your iPhone and 2 delete all apps on iTunes as well. Also when you download apps on your iPhone or computer, iCloud automatically puts them on your devices. About the second issue, to be honest I don't know

  • I got a Mac Book Pro from my company, and I can't update the apps because they are registered to another Apple ID.  Is there a way to change this so I can update my Apps?

    As it says, I got a Mac Book Pro from my company and I would like to update the apps on it.  They are registered to a former employee's Apple ID, is there anyway for me to change it to my Apple ID?  Or do all of the Apps need to be re-purchased?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You must repurchase the applications because you can't transfer programs from an Apple ID to another one

    Every time I start iTunes all apps are downloading . When I remove them and delete them,  next time I start iTunes they start downloading again.How can I stop these apps downloading again and again?  Garry Rogers

    Hello korkyk,
    Thank you for providing all the details of the issue you are experiencing.  I found some steps you can take.
    To delete the app from iTunes, follow these steps without your iPhone connected to the computer:
    Apps>Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the app you deleted again (it depends on where you live).
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
    Click the app you want to delete.
    Press the Delete on your keyboard.

    You won't be able to delete the purchase from the Apple ID, but you can hide the purchase:
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."

  • How can I redownload purchase from iBooks because they are no longer able to download them?!

    It keeps saying I have insuffienct store credit even though I purchased the book. It's also confusing because it was only after the iOS update. Which was a few hours ago.

    Are you trying by following these instructions:
    Download past purchases
    Do you have a valid payment method in your account? Apple checks even for free items like free redownloads

  • Is there a way to retrive my old apps on my ipod that I lost now that I resored is to original settings and they had updated.  It would let the apps back on my 2G ipod that I had because they are now not compatable with the softwear!

    I have now learned that our 2G IPods will not update any further to the latest ISO. but now that I just rebooted my son's Ipod he has lost a LOT of apps because they are no longer compatible with the softwear version on the IPod!  Is there a way to get these back???

    the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally.  you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!
