How do I delete my app data?!?!

With some apps you can simply go to to the settings and there will be some way of deleting your data and starting from level 1, But from what I've seen there's no way to do that with this app. If it helps the app is called Fast and furious 6 the game or something. I want to start from the beginning. I've tried even reinstalling the app, but it apparently SAVES all the data (even though it clearly says that by uninstalling an app it will delete the data.) And I just want to flipping' reset it. That's all. It's there any way of deleting the saved data of just ONE app?

You should be able to delete the application data of a specific application from Setting>General>Usage. Some application will allow you to swipe the Documents & Data and select Delete. If this does not allow you to do so attempt deleting the application from here and re-downloading it. Also if you do not see the application immediately from Usage it may take a moment to load depending on how much content you have stored and may even require you to select Show all Apps at the bottom of the list. Hope this helps.

Resetting app data

I am using a number of iPads with pupils at school and wish to reset apps to their original state after use. E.g. If pupil (a) has achieved level 5 in an app, I want to reset the app data so that when I give the ipad to pupil (b) it does not remain at level 5 but starts from zero.

Delete all content and settings will wipe your phone. You cannot selectively restore in iTunes or iCloud, it is either all or none. You would have to restore to a backup before you deleted the app to be able to recover the data. However, anything that you did since that time would be lost.

Deleting Purchased App data

I dowloaded tinder 4.3 but when I launched the app, it showed me the old version. I tried uninstalling and installing it again but it did not work. I'm guessing this is because my old app data is saved in the Purchased history. Is there any way to delete the app from the Purchased history?

If you are using iCloud with Pages... Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. And Settings>iCloud>Documents and data>On>Pages>On. You should be able to safely delete the app and all of your documents will still be in iCloud.
I have deleted Pages a few times for troubleshooting purposes and I have never lost any documents. When I reinstalled the app, all of my files downloaded again from iCloud.

My Ipod touch wont let me add or take off music. How can i reset my music and everything else without deleting any app data?

It wont let me take any music off and in Itunes it says that I only have 40 songs that are on my cloud. But my Ipod says i have 1400 songs on my ipod and lets me play them all. I dont understand what i should do but i dont want to do a factory reset, that is the last thing i want to do. If you have any suggestions that would be great. Thank you

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Otherwise:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Firefox won't open, error msg = can't find profile; deleted all app.data to rid new Win 7 Total Security virus - tried both v 4.0 & v 3.6 (now no error msg either). Can't open profile manager, can't open safe mode. pls help

My mother's computer was infected with the new "Win 7 Total Security" virus (apparently a fake antivirus program) - corrupted real av. To remove, we followed online advice to delete everything in AppData, for all programs, plus some other stuff. We moved it all to a flashdrive for safety, but after successfully removing virus, likewise cleaned & reformatted flashdrive. This apparently deleted Firefox profile(s), and after uninstalling & reinstalling, Firefox still won't open - I can't create a new profile. With v 4.0, I get an error message about not being able to find the profile. Found advice on how to open profile manager, but it won't open. Found reference to version 4 dispensing with profile manager, so tried installing version 3.6 again; still won't open, still can't open profile manager, but now no error message at all.

THANX for the reply cor-el. I've never had a problem using just "firefox -p", but i did use the full path like you advised after i read the profile manager article here before i posted my question. Unfortunately it didn't work. I've backed up all 3 profiles from the "%appdata% profile" file, and also from my remaining main profile that i'm on right now. I decided i'm going to uninstall ff3.6.28 & upgrade to "firefox 11" this weekend and hopefully create the other 2 profiles along with my main one. I do like in the newer versions of FF the tabs on top like googles chrome because it gives you more room on the page. I also like some other features too, but the main reason i kept my old version both times is because the newer versions didn't seem to load pages any faster than version 3.6.28. I'm not going to worry about some themes/personas not being compatible with ff11. I'll find some new ones. I think when i tried "ff9" awhile back along with my current version, i just deleted the shortcut that the article said to create on the desktop and still had all 3 profiles & no problems like i have now. In case your curious, the article on how to create more than one version of firefox at the same time was on the site "Dottech.org>[How To] Tip: Install multiple versions of Firefox to test before upgrading to latest release". It works but i obviously did something different this time that caused this problem. THANX again for your time/help, i do appreciate it.

How to reinstall window 8.1 when app data deleted from user folder

due to fault i deleted my app data from user folder of c drive due to this some apps and software not working prioperly so i want to reinstall my windos but it is not done so help me to solve this problem of deleting app data

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you deleted the App data from your profile and now apps are not working properly. I am happy to assist with this. Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Also, was Windows 8.1 your factory installed operating system? I would recommedn that you backup any personal data, files, etc from the system before doing anything else. Then you can do a system recovery to restore the factory installation.

Does the "Reset All Settings" option delete app data?

I have upgraded from a 16GB iPhone 4S to a 64GB iPhone 6. I restored my new phone from a backup of my old one just so I could transfer app data from one app. All went well with that, but now the app is sending notifications that I can no longer progress because my phone lacks storage space. That may have been true for my 16GB iPhone, but now I have over 43GB of free space on my new iPhone 6, and it's still telling me I'm out of space. I'm thinking this has something to do with the "settings" of my old 4S being transferred in the backup I made. I am willing to try a Settings Reset if and only if it will not affect app data. If it does, what other methods do you suggest to convince my iPhone it has ample storage space?

Reset All Settings does not delete app data. It DOES reset your home screen layout, however, plus any default settings that you have changed.

How can I simply restore lost app data from iCloud, without resetting all content. Please someone!!!

I accidentally deleted a timesheet app from my iPhone, I reinstalled the app again but the data did not come back with it. Can someone help me with details how I can restore my lost data for just that app, from iCloud. iCloud is and was set up on my phone and was updated 3 days before this happened. People have suggested I "reset all content and setting" and it will come back. The sounds of deleting all content on my phone worries me. I have no other devices to back up on, so my only back up is in "iCloud"
Is there a simple way I can download and reinstall just the data for the app from iCloud?

Delete all content and settings will wipe your phone. You cannot selectively restore in iTunes or iCloud, it is either all or none. You would have to restore to a backup before you deleted the app to be able to recover the data. However, anything that you did since that time would be lost.

Hello there, SamanthaYikwai.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps to try for reinstalling an app:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
If the issue persists, then you may want to try and sync the application to your iOS device using your computer by following the information in this article, under the section "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC":
Download past purchases

My iphone 4 has no data storage. I have deleted all apps, music and texts and it still says I only have 1.9 GB available. There is nothing in my storage.

The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

How can I delete an app and all of it's data...

I am at my wits end. I have the Medicare express plus app and I have had to recreate a new myGov account and link the app back up with the new myGov. However, because I had an old myGov account the app is still linked up to that and I can't uninstall and reinstall to put new data into it and link it to the new myGov. Stupid myGov account, if you stuff up your passwords 3 times it locks you out for the rest of your life. You have to create a new account with new email everything. DUMB!! Anyway....
I have deleted the app. I have deleted the info off iTunes and put in recycle bin then deleted the contents then synced. Whenever I go to reinstall the medicare app, it reinstalls the app with all the same info, which no longer works because it's linked to the old myGov. So it is not making me re register again at all. So frustrating. It is not in my icloud info either, so it's not picking it up from there, i've checked the settings on the iphone for that. Once I deleted it and synced on itunes, I then turned the phone off and on again and then tried to reinstall again, STILL giving me the same app with same data, which doesn't work anymore.. far out!!
I want to reinstall the app and have to start from scratch and register again. It just won't come to the party and it's starting to irriate me to no end. I just don't know how to fix it.
Can someone please help me??? Anyone?????
Lisa

It's not clear from your post if you've tried downloading the app again from the App Store directly on your phone. If you haven't I'd give that a try.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):
