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

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.

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

Is it possible to completely remove an app from my account so that when I go on the app store it comes up with the price/free instead of install?

I want to completely remove the skype app from my apple id as im having issues with it. Thanks in advance for all help.

The problem is, when I first opened the app I accidentally clicked 'don't allow push notifications' this has stopped the app from working properly as when I receive a call or IM on Skype I am not notified unless I happen to be on the app at the time the call/IM isis recieved. I have tried to delete the app from my PC and my iPhone however when I went back to the app store it came up INSTALL instead of FREE. I figure that if I can install the app by clicking FREE will allow me to enable Push Notifications as other apps that have never been associated with my account always ask when I install them

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.

I would like to completely remove an app from my iPad and the cloud. Is that possible?

I seem to be having a challenge connecting an app to Facebook to access my friends list, etc. I read that if there is a problem, I need to uninstall the app and reinstall it. I am just pulling back the saved data from the cloud which does not do me any good. I just began the game and do not mind beginning from the beginning since I have not invested any money yet. Thank you!

Hello FeyQueen,
You may be able to remove existing game data by via the following:
On your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap Storage & Backup.
On your Mac, go to Apple () menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, then click Manage.
On your Windows computer:
Windows 8.1: Go to the Start screen and click the down arrow in the lower-left corner. Click the iCloud app, then click Manage.
Windows 8: Go to the Start screen and click the iCloud tile, then click Manage.
Windows 7: Choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud, then click Manage.
Once in the 'Manage' dialog, look for the name or icon of the affected game. If present, you should be able to delete any data the game has saved to your iCloud account.

TS1702 how do i completely remove an app from iTunes

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.

How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, or Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
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."

HT201322 Completely remove app from iphone

Hi, Can someone please tell me how i completely remove an app from my iphone 4s?
The apps are in the Purchased History of the app store and i want to remove them from there, few people have said you cannot do this but you can hide them.
Can anyone at least tell me how to hide them? I have deleted them because i dont want them so i am not bothered about losing them completely, and clicking the cross on the app only removes it from the home screen, also i have tried going into itunes to view my purchased apps on there but this list people keep mentioning that appears on the left hand side when you click apps does not appear on mine, i have tried checking the settings and still cannot find a way to see these apps and delete them from itunes. Please can someone help me resolve this. Thanks

You can't currently permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you can hide them so that they are less visible (they won't show in the Purchased tab unless you unhide them) - if you folllow the instructions for hiding them via your computer's iTunes as described on the page that you posted from then they should get hidden (you can't currently hide them directly on an iOS 6 device) i.e.
on your computer's iTunes select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page. That should show you a screen where you can select Apps at the top of it to display a list of your purchased/downloaded apps (those that are still in the store and not hidden) - if you hover your mouse pointer over an app that you want to hide then it should get an 'x' appear on it, click that to hide it

Permanently remove iPhone apps

Is it possibly to completely remove apps and their preferences from the iPhone itself (iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3)?
I've tried uninstalling an app (by holding until it shakes, then tapping x and confirming removal) - but i've then reinstalled it (technical glitch w/ app). Then I turned off my iPhone and turned it back on.
Once the app had finished downloading an installing, it still had all the same settings i'd previously changed - and they hadn't reset through deletion of the app.
Apple used to have App Store apps that were similar to 'AppZapper' for Mac - which allowed complete deletion of every component of an app (app, shortcuts, pref files, folders etc.) Does anyone know if there's anything out there to completely remove an app please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

To completely remove an App and all of its settings, do this: Delete the app on your phone, then delete the app in iTunes, when prompted, move all files to trash. Empty your trash. Then sync your phone. The app and all of its data & settings will be gone. If you want, you can re-download the app again, for free.

How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

Completely remove "Best Buy PC App"?

New laptop from Best Buy. I need to remove the "Best Buy PC App" junkware from the computer, but the "Uninstall Program" control panel only removes it from the user who uninstalls it. Other users still see the junkware installed when they first login, and must then uninstall it themselves.
In other words, using the "Uninstall Program" control panel only seems to remove the junkware shortcut. It doesn't appear to actually uninstall the program.
How do I completely remove the "Best Buy PC App" from the system?

coover: you mean Win7 uninstalls differently if i run the control panel as Administrator versus as a regular (administrative) user? (the user i used did have administrator rights, but that's not the same thing as being Administrator in Win7.) hmm. i suppose that could make some kind of sense. how do i run the control panel as the Administrator so that it's the Administrator uninstalling the app? can i just "Run as Administrator" from the context menu?
slimjim77: it's not about disk space. it's about finding an answer to the question of how. it's possible i'm doing something wrong; but it's also possible (and seems more likely) that the BB PC app has a broken uninstall routine. if the former, i'll learn something. if the latter, maybe posting this will get it fixed -- and if not, maybe it'll lead to instructions that others with the same question can find. does that bother you for some reason?
i did manually remove the shortcut under C:\Users\Default\AppData\...\StartMenu\Startup, and that prevented the app installing itself for new users. can't look into more than that at the moment since i don't have the laptop with me.

Windows 10 needs an option to completely remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store.

The main thing I expected for next version of Windows is an to completity remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store. Microsoft does not understand the Windows 8 bad reputation and has not learned anything.

A little Microsoft last years history:
Microsoft en general has good operatings systems in all segments, good office and server products, before year 2010.
The best OS that Microsoft never ended is Longhorn:
http://www.zdnet.com/windows-longhorn-still-the-most-exciting-windows-ui-to-date-7000007363/
http://longhorn.ms/
Microsoft be the first on a good mobile OS: Windows Mobile. In lastest versions of Windows Mobile, i can sync all my Exchange items, including tasks and notes. Its has a good interface with a menu, a desktop with shortcuts and more. Every new version improve
visuals with more effects, gradients, transparencies and more. Windows Mobile are far years old than iOS or Android.
But since year 2010, Microsoft presents Windows Phone, with and ugly user interface, with less visuals, no desktop, no notifications, no apps, no app compatibility with Windows Mobile and only sync Contacts and Email. No calendar, tasks, notes. Also the
simplicity of the Mail app makes it unuseable.
Now, in 2014, Windows Phone can sync Calendar, but no Tasks or Notes. Less than in Windows Mobile.
Android is new for year 2009 and mimics desktop OS's and Windows Mobile with a desktop and gadgets. In every new version of Android i see a lot of improvements and new features. I also sync Exchange tasks and with another app, Exchange Notes. Android continues
to mimic desktop OS's now featuring Windows on a mobile OS, but Microsoft is removing desktop features in order to a limited Metro ugly interface.
Windows Mobile had a 30% market share and Windows Phone has a 2,5% of market share.
With this bad and ugly OS, Microsoft completity destroys Nokia.
With this bad reputation of an ugly and unuseable OS, Microsoft decide to put all this ugly OS to the Windows Desktop OS, with less features than older Windows OS versions,
obtaining no more than 10% of market share, compared to the more than 50% of Windows 7 and the more than 20% of Windows XP.
Also Microsoft remove features in every new version of every Microsoft product except in SQL Server.
Microsoft Office removed crucial features and shows an ugly UI with ugly icons. For example, Office 2013 shows me less emails on screen than Office 2010. Also the lack of constrast and the lack of ClearType make it difficult to read.
The UI and icons in Visual Studio with the ridicolous ALL CAPS menu are higly
criticized by the developer community forcing Microsoft to change visuals, new icons and a Visual Studio 10 Theme. But continues flat, ugly and with less features than previous versions.
Exchange removes the Exchange Management Console and Exchange Control Panel for an ugly web interface. More functions and commands need to do now by the Exchange Powershell cmdlet commands instead of a Visual GUI interface.
With this bad numbers and reputacion, Microsoft also puts these ugly OS on the new XBox One, a cloud console developed for a
house living room to show TV, movies, listen music and play games. Initially forced to always connected to Internet, Microsoft was forced to remove that and the kinect due to the poor reception of a console not developed to power games users and
with insuffient power for actual games. Actual sales data compared to Playstation4 shows a bad and dead product like Nokia Phones.
And now, close to year 2015, with all this bad reputation and numbers, Microsoft still continues to force to an ugly, flat and simple OS with apps and cloud. I never use cloud or put my private data on the cloud.
With even more reason never put my company or work data on the cloud.
I do not trust the cloud, and even less
trust in Microsoft. Ads like Scroogled,
make me gain more confidence in Google
and lose even more confidence in Microsoft,
because you need to attack the competition rather than
focus on developing good products.
Instead i got at least the same features on a new OS, i never upgrade.
Less appearance settings. No advanced appearance settings like in Windows 7. No Aero. No Themes. No Customizations options. Only flat and ugly design, with bad and heavy colors that makes eye strained and lack of constrast between areas on the Window of
an application (see Office 2013).
Less Protect System options. No Shadow Copies or Prevoius Versions. File History is unusefull.
Less Network options. No Network map. Less Wi-Fi features. No Bluetooth File sharing.
No desktop games.
General ugly UI without options. I dont like FLAT.
Why change Windows 7 with an OS with less features like Windows 8.x and 10?
The only new is:
Ugly Metro/Modern UI does nobody wants and solicitated this.
Simple apps with ADS that are practically unusefull on desktop PC and more on enterprise.
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own private data on the cloud?
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own company private data on the cloud?
Nobody wants to create a Microsoft Account or use a Store of Simple apps with ADS. Nobody solicitated this but Microsoft wahts to makes money.
Seeing the little progress
and development of new features including
new versions, as
Windows Phone 7 to Windows
Phone 8, Windows
8 to 8.1 and 10 shows the
reducidad capacity and
the current difficulty of
development by Microsoft
counting the numerous
layoffs and closing of
numerous development teams.
Serious and professional developers never develop Windows Store/Metro-Style apps.
They develops .NET, Windows Forms Applications, WPF, MFC, C++, etc. applications.
That is the actual technology that people are using, learning and jobs searching.
And what Microsoft means Modern or actually:
“Windows Store/Phone Projects”
is technology that never wants, nobody asked and needed for.
I never see a decent “Windows Store/Phone Projects” or a rich client app on that technology. I only see garbage, spam, ads and its the better platform for spammers, and people who want to get my money badly and with bad ways.
“Windows Store/Phone Projects” is the best platform for thieves, crooks, swindlers and more.
I never develop to a simply unusefull platform whit limited technologies and a platform in which Microsoft gets 20% of my work.
I want .NET technologies, WPF, Windows Form and to create exe files. For Mobile/Tablet platform i used .apk files that not need a store to distribute them.
I expect from next version of Windows to create local accounts and options to COMPLETITY disable Metro and Windows Store with the restore of removed features like Shadow Copies, Backup and Restore, Aero, Advanced Appearance Settings, Expand All Programs
in Start Menu, Games apps like Solitaire, Mineswipper, Chess Titans, DVD Maker and more removed features. If Microsoft not do this, the next version of Windows continues to be another disaster like Windows 8.x and people stick with Windows XP and 7 in order
to think about migrations to Mac OSX or Linux.
For all who likes and defends the new Microsoft concept, please see the actual Microsoft marketshare in all segments.
Microsoft has to think and open your eyes
and see that from 2010 all
new versions of their products are inferior
products with fewer features,
destroying and killing the product like Windows Mobile, Nokia, Windows, XBox, etc. Microsoft needs to see the marketshare of all this new products and compare with the marketshare of old products.
It is very serious and a lot of attention
today that Windows XP has greater
market share than Windows 8.x for this reason
alone should be enough for Microsoft
to react and change all their wonderful way
of thinking and his philosophy like
"Devices and Services "or the
new" Cloud first,
Mobile First ".
In business, one of the main premises
is that if a product works and sold, do not change it. Microsoft is not only changing Windows, is elimintating the sale of the 50% marketshare of Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate edition. And
more, for more than 2 years, Microsoft is not developing any Service Pack for Windows 7, that is unaceptable. All of this is stupid and idot and the best things to lost confidence and trust on Microsoft.
Microsoft is doing the all things that i can do to kill a company.
Remember those companies, like Coca-Cola, Xerox, etc. that
were about to go bankrupt to change
its philosophy and strategy, which worked
very well, and failed to get up
again until they return to its own strategy and
philosophy of the beginning.
