How do I remove apps or games?

I want to remove some games I do not want. How do I remove them or other apps I no longer need?

Remove them from where, your phone or your account's purchase history ?
If you want to delete them form your phone then press and hold any of the apps on your phone's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
If you want to remove them from the cloud so that they don't show for redownloading then all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show, you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

  • How do I remove apps in iOS 5.0?

    There are some apps that came with the iOS that I can't remove such as "Newstand" and "Game Center". How do I remove apps like these?

    You can't.
    Any Apple apps included in iOS (including the two you mentioned) cannot be deleted.
    You can put most of them into a folder (Newsstand cannot be put into a folder) and move them to an empty Home screen to get them out of the way.

  • How can I remove apps from my iPad

    How can I remove apps from my iPad? It does not have the little "x" option on the iPad like the iPhones.

    It works just the same as an iPhone. A long hold on an icon will cause them all to start wobbling, drag to move around or tap the X to remove.You can't remove any of the built-in apps so these won't get an X to tap.

    Tap and hold an app until they all start to wiggle, then tap the black "x" on the apps you want to delete from your phone, or drag them to the edge of the screen if you want to move them to another screen rather than deleting them.  Finish by tapping the home button.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
    You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

    Put your finger on the app you want to remove and hold there until it starts to wiggle. An X will appear. Select the X and it will delete the app.

    Heh, that can become a nuisance. Don't know how many you've accrued in your years of iGadget enjoyment, but I've managed to accumulate nearly 600, all free   So yeah, the list can get lengthy
    I'm afraid to count . I don't spend a lot time worry about it, but have on occassion gone in and hidden a few items. A handful of apps I know I never want to see again, plus some free music tracks that didn't pan out and some TV episodes that no longer have any value to me.
