Delete an undead contact from my iPad mini permanently?

How do I delete a contact from my iPad mini permanently?
I must have deleted a contact 15 times, spend a lot of time researching the web for a solution.
The undead contact is still there when I open contacts again! H E L P  P L E A S E.
This contact not only will not die but also clutters up my calendar.
Thank you for your time and patience.

The method provided in the link in the previous posts explains how to delete contacts from your Contacts app. But the contact may still appear in the recently used list that you see when starting to type an address in somewhere.
To delete contacts from appearing in the recently used group, start typing a name in an app like Mail. When the unwanted contact appears check to see if there is a small i in a circle at the right end of the contact. Tapping that should bring up an option to delete from Recents.
If there is no small i you'll have to have patience. Unused items are eventually deleted from the Recents list on their own.

    How do I delete all my contacts from my IPad 3. I use snow leopard so I can't use icloud. I just got my first IPad so I am new at this.
    I believe I can use I tunes. I know how to sync my address book into the IPad but can't remember how to delete the ones that are there.

    If you are syncing your iPad with your computer, one way to delete all your contacts might be to connect the iPad to the computer, then in iTunes select the iPad in the sidebar. Once you've done that, go to the Info tab. Uncheck the box for syncing Contacts, then in the lower right, hit Apply. All the Contacts on your iPad will be gone.
    You haven't asked for solutions to use Snow Leopard with iCloud, but there are some solutions for Mail, Address Book and Calendar.

    How can I delete a bad app completely from my iPad mini in order to re-download it as though I never had it?

    Yes, it will now always show that you purchased it, but with it deleted from ipad, when yu click the icon to download again, it will download the latest versioon available from the app store.
    You cannot delete what is in the app store. nor can you erase your previous history of purchasing the app.

  • Everytime I delete music from my iPad mini and then re-sync, it puts the music back on. How do I prevent this?

    I shuffle music around a lot (and is there a way to delete whole albums at a swipe and not have to do it song by song) so am getting frustrated when iTunes keeps restoring my iPad mini to the last incarnation of songs. Are there settings I am missing?

    If your iPad is on iOS 7 as your tagline suggests then you can only delete individual songs directly on your iPad, you can't delete whole albums in one go.
    For the music being put back on, what music sync options do you have on its Music tab when connected to your computer's iTunes ? If you have it set to sync the album / artist / playlist that contains a song that you've deleted directly on your iPad then you will need to change your sync options - as far as iTunes knows you've accidentally deleted the song(s) from your iPad, so unless you also change your sync selection (e.g. removing the album, removing tracks from your playlists on your computer's iTunes) then it will them back on it.

  • HT4236 can i retrieve deleted video from my ipad mini

    My son deleted a video from his ipad mini and I want it back, I was so upset when he deleted it so I was hoping I can restore it or retrive it somehow

    Do you have backup made of the phone before it was deleted? if so, you can get it out of the backup, otherwise, not much hope.
    If on mac: Dr.Fone (Mac) will do the job nicely, I'm sure there's something equivalent for windows, but I'm not so familiar there.

  • How do I delete photos from my iPad mini?

    How do I delete photos from my iPad mini?

    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the photo in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

  • How can I delete music from my iPad mini?

    I want to delete music from my iPad mini, as in from the library but I can't seem to be able to. Does anyone know how to do this?

    If the music is downloaded/synced to the Music app (i.e. it's not in the cloud, it doesn't have the cloud icon against it) then you should be able to delete tracks by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left.  If you have iOS 8 on your iPad then you can use the swipe/drag to also delete albums and/or artists, or you can delete tracks / albums / artists via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (under 'storage' heading) > Music. You can also delete all music via Settings > General > Usage > Music on iOS 7, Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > Music on iOS 8.
    If the music does have the cloud against it then you can stop cloud music showing via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all') 'off'
    You can also delete music when connected to your computer's iTunes, either by changing your sync selection if using automatic syncing, or by selecting Music under the iPad 'device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes (option-comman-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC, should enable/disable the sidebar) and using the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and delete music

  • TS1702 How do I remove/delete an app from my iPad mini that I no longer need?

    Can someone advise please? How can I delete/remove an unwanted app from my iPad mini? Thanks!

    Press and hold any of the apps 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'

  • I seem to have deleted iTunes and the App Store from my iPad mini, how do I get them back?

    I've deleted the App Store and iTunes from my iPad mini, how do I get them back?

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
