Can't remove an app from my Iphone

I have an iPhone 4s, updated to the latest iOS
I recently updated some apps on my iPhone, all of them bar one updated normally. The app in question was 'updating' for around three days, stuck at 3/4 of the way through updating. There were were no interruptions during the updating and like I said, all the other apps updated normally. After around three days I tried a hard reset of my phone to see what would happen. As soon as my phone came back on and I tapped the app, it started 'updating' again, and went 3/4 of the way before stopping again.
So I tried deleting the app. The name at the bottom of the app went, but the actual app icon stayed. If I tap and hold it the shaky 'x' comes up to delete the app, but it just says "Deleting " " will also delete all of it's data." it doesn't display the name of the app, and again, the actual icon doesn't go.
If I go back to the appstore, it says I can redownload the app from the store (with the cloud and arrow button) and if I press that, once again the app highlights that it's loading, but stops around 3/4 of the way.
So then I connected to itunes on my laptop and tried to remove it that way. Even though on the screen/shelf view of my phone on  itunes it shows that the app is there, if i try searching for it though itunes isn't showing the app, and on itunes there's no 'x' that comes up when I hover over the app, like it appears on the others.
I can't think of another way to delete the app, but I want it gone from my phone. If I can't remove it from my phone using itunes, and can't remove it from my actual phone, how else can I get rid of it. I've turned my phone on and off, I've hard reset, I've closed all the apps in the background... I can't think of anything else.

So, what's the App called?
Pete

  • How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    I am an IT in a government office who just switched our fleet to iPhones.  We are not permitted to use certains apps that are either not in our data contract, touch the Cloud, or cause cost/personnel issues.  Those items I try to corral in a folder "Unusable Apps" on a separate page where the user has little eye contact with them (outta sight outta mind right).  I go through the motions of turning off every notification, update, share feature, etc. I can find but the icons are still on the phone.  I have a fleet of about 100 iPhones and at least half my users are sneaky & curious and often try to reactivate things I have already hidden or turned off per our agency telecommunications policy.  I just want them removed all together so I don't have to keep going through this and for those who can't fight temptation - they won't have to anymore.  How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    You may want to repost this in one of the iPhone for Business forums:

    You'll want to ask about Configurator.
    My company uses iPads as part of a Point of Sale System. They have restricted access to many of the built in apps and deployed custom apps.
    Best of luck.

    How do I pernamantly remove an app from my iPhone 4 ?

    Depends on the app. Built in apps - Safari, Music, itunes, etc. - can't be removed. Apps you have downloaded can be deleted by tapping and holding on any app icon, then taping the X to delete.

  • How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

    How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

    I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
    Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
    Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

  • How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • How do I remove all apps from my iPhone?

    How do I bulk remove all apps from my iPhone? There has to be a better way than removing each one manually. Thanks.

    It's easiest to plug it into the computer if you have a lot, and click on the Music tab of the iPhone. Then, either Control-A (Windows) or Command-A (Mac) to select all of the songs then press delete on your keyboard. If you have a few, it is easiest to swipe over the individual songs and press delete.

    Depends on what you're saying...do you mean use the apps from your iphone on your Mac?  That is a no.

    You should be able to restore it by going into the app store, then into the "purchased" section (along the bottom of the screen), and finally redownloading it to your phone by clicking on the app icon in the list of purchased apps.

    why can't i buy app from the app store on my iphone?

    No one here knows why. No one can help you with so little information because we do not have a crystalball. You will need to provide detailed information about what happens when you try to buy an app in order to begin to help with your issue.

  • How do I remove unwanted apps from my Iphone 5C?

    I have gone to Settings - General- Usage and have updated the apps I wish to show on the screen, powered down and powered back up, yet the icons are still showing on the screen. What can I do to make the icons go away?

    What apps are you trying to remove? The area you describe in settings does not remove apps from the phone. You cannot remove apps that are native to iOS, such as Weather, Stocks, etc. Apps that you have downloaded from the App Store can be removed by holding down on the icon until it starts to wiggle. That will display a small "x" in the corner of the icon. Tap on that and it will remove the app from the phone.
