How do I delete a preloaded icon

I have no use for some of the preloaded icons and wish to delete those I do not use. Specifically I'd like to delete the STOCKS icon. Any ideas?
I've tried holding it however when I do there is no "X" that appears on the icon.
Thanks

You cannot delete these particular icons. However, the solution that I used, as long as you have at least version 1.1.3 or above, you can move it off to another homepage that would not be visible. I've taken the icons that I do not generally use and move them to page two. You can make more than one page, just hold down on the icon until they start to wiggle, then slide it off to the right and it will create a new page.
Hope this helps you.

  • How do I delete Ipad Application Icons

    How do I delete Ipad Application Icons ? I tried to load a few and they didn't load and now I am left with icons that have "Waiting" underneath and nothing is happening
    I have tried the hold and wiggle but they wiggle without the X so I can't delete that way
    Please help ?

    Restarting worked for me. Just hold down the sleep button until the red slider appears. Slide to power off. To turn it back on, it has to be plugged in to the wall or a computer.

  • How do I delete an empty icon page on my iPhone

    I have somehow inserted an empty icon page ahead of my normal first page of icons on my iPhone 5. iTunes shows the page at the end of the others, but even after syncing, the empty page is at the beginning, ahead of my search page. Does anyone know how to delete an empty icon page from the iPhone 5? It is so illogical to me that it can't be done from within iTunes by just hitting the Delete key, the way you'd expect it to work!
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings -> icloud and then you should see your icloud id, scroll to the bottom and select delete account, you are then able to add your new one.
    Hope it helps

  • How do I delete the Contacts Icon put on the 2G and 3G iPhones?

    How do I delete the Contacts on my 2G iPhone? I want to pass the 2G on and all my phone numbers are there and the Contacts won't deltete!

    Back up your Address Book on your Mac. Delete al the contacts. Sync the phone. All your conatats will be gone
    Unplug the phone. Restore your contacts into Address Book.
    Eaglesflight1258 is right. You can't delete the Contacts icon from the phone, and even if you could, pressing the phone button brings up the same contacts list. There's only one list of names and numbers, and both buttons use it.
    An alternative strategy is to get the other stuff to the recipient by copying the files onto his/her computer so they can be synced with the phone; then Erase everything from the phone.

  • How do I delete a podcast icon from my iphone?

    I'm somewhat Mac and iphone saavy and have looked all over the Net and these forums for an answer.  No dice! Let's see what you guys got:  I have deleted some podcasts from iTunes that I don't want to see anymore and the icon has stayed on my iphone. They don't show up anywhere in iTunes, but insist on hanging around in the podcast list on my phone. How do I get rid of these???  There is no swipe ability since there are no podcast recordings, just the icons.

    Open your podcast app and swipe down on the screen, it will expose the search box and the edit button.

    image-3750165159.jpgTap the edit button and an x appears at the upper left of each podcast icon. Tap the x, and the podcast disappears.
    image-2045823971.jpgI tapped the X on the right hand podcast and it's now gone.
    When you're finished editing, tap the done button.

  • How do I delete a desktop icon that will not delete?

    I have ab Excel ICON on my destop that will not delete and cannot be moved.....
    Any ideas? I think Excel is corrupted, but the rest of the functions work okay....
    Thanks all
    Dan

    Better yet, I'll just give you the command and tell you how to enter it.
    Open terminal by opening up Launchpad and clicking on Utilities and then Terminal.
    Type this
         rm -R Desktop/NAME_OF_FILE
    replace NAME_OF_FILE with the the name of the file (including caps) and press Tab then Enter
    If that doesn't work, let me know

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:
