Deleting uninstalled apps

My nokia 930 lumia, has a small bug, If I uninstall an app,and then go to store and check my apps by pressing the three little dots at bottom of screen, the deleted apps show, when you check the boxes next to them , there is no function to completely erase them from phone. but does show a download icon. Im confused I dont want them listed. please help, many thanks    

They are showing as part of the history of your account. They are not installed but are there in case you wanted to quickly re-install them.
As far as I'm aware unless corrected you cannot delete this history.

  • How do I delete uninstalled Apps from the iPhone app list that is shown inside iTunes on my PC after sychronizaton?

    To clarify and to not receive the answers of those who doesn't read more than 2 lines of a post: I am not asking how can I delete backups to free space in iCloud nor how to hide the purchase history!!! those things I already know...
    to be clearer please let me explain what I mean by "list inside the iTunes of my PC". To access the list to which I am reffering you must take this steps:
    1) Connect the iPhone to the PC. This should open iTunes if not already opened and activate the synchronization between iPhone and PC.
    2) After syncronization and eventual backup in the iTunes window on the top right side it appears the tab "iPhone".
    3) Click said tab "iPhone" to see its content. In the top bar you can see 9 tabs: "Summary", "Info", "Apps", "Music", "Movies", "TV Shows", "Books", "Photos" and "On This iPhone".
    4) Click the 3rd tab, the one named "Apps", in this window on the left side you have the full list of the apps and on the right side you can see how these apps are arranged inside the device (inside home screens and folders).
    I am referring to this particular list, the one on the left side of this page. See, I ricently run out of space in my iCloud so I decided tidy things up. I deleted all of the old backups both form iCloud and from PC and I hid all of the Apps that I no longer use from my purchase history.
    now, the point is, every time I go to this particular list I can still find all of the apps, even those uninstalled from the device and removed from the purchase history...
    In this list the apps that are still installed on my divece have got the "remove" button at its side and those which are not have got the "install" button... my point is that I went to great lengths to clean everything and still I can't seem to find a way to remove unwanted apps from this particular list...
    I do suspect that it is because I have to restore some registry inside the iPhone itself... The point is that I don't want these apps to appear on this list anymore but I don't know how to clear it... Any help? Have I been clear?
    thanks

    That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
    If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
    C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
    In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files).  You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
    One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it.  So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

  • I have 5.6 GB of uninstalled apps and it's taking up all my data storage on my phone. How do I delete them or get my space back?

    Hi,
    I have a 5s iphone with 16 GB. My phone storage is basically always full, to the point where I can't take pictures or send them. I only have 10 songs, 912 pictures and 2 apps. I don't use email on my phone, so it seems I should have space to have more apps and take pictures, etc. I looked at my storage manager and just noticed that it says I have 5.6 GB of uninstalled apps. I can't delete the apps from the apps store on my phone, even though they're not on my phone and when I logged into my apps store on my laptop, it said there were no apps... How can I get my space back on my phone? Does anyone know of a way to delete the apps or what to do in this situation?
    Thanks!

    Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

  • Once a older version of a program is uninstalled on a mac, can they be deleted from apps folder?

    Once a older version of a program is uninstalled on a mac, can they be deleted from apps folder?

    Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
    Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can i delete uninstalled iOS apps?

    How can i delete uninstalled iOS apps in iTunes11 & iphone? Its taking up my iPhone's space as i kept trying on new apps but uninstalled them after trying. The uninstalled apps still appear in my iTunes "Apps" though. I deleted all the apps in Mobile Application folder in Mac because i couldnt delete any in iTunes & iPhone but its not working(still in my iTunes "Apps"). I wanna get rid of them from my iTunes & iPhone.... so that i can save space... HOW?

    Mark the names that you see in the apps man.. They should be like a000c1b.sis etc.
    Connect the phone to your PC as USB mass storage device.
    Open the drive in your PC.
    In search option, write down the name, the files will appear, delete em.
    Or, you can use 3rd party File explorer like explore to delete em.

    Hi, recently I downloaded a picture downloading app because I was trying to upload a video on instagram but now my iPhoto won't work, it says another app is running, I have already deleted the app on my phone but how do i uninstall it on my macbook?

    Open Activity Monitor by searching it in spotlight.
    Go to the app that you downloaded & quit it. If it won't quit then Force Quit.

  • After upgrade to IOS8, uninstall/delete an app is very very slow

    As the title said, it was very very slow to delete an app after upgrade to IOS8.1 for my iPad air.
    That not good for Apple style,please fix it asap.
    Lei

    Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo If this doesn't fix your problem Do a Factory Restore this will get rid of some bugs And iPad will be like new Do a backup to iCloud before doing this Make sure you use the same Apple ID I did this last week on iPad Air Running 8.1 It's just like new now very quick Cheers Brian

  • How can I delete an app that doesn't show as installed but is?

    I can not delete an app that is on my iphone 5.  Unfortunely I do not remember the name of it!  It shows up as a moveable round botton within a square on all opened screens. When tapped it opens up four options: Favorites, Siri, Device and Home.  It was a cool time saver with the iOS5, but with the addition of comand center in iOS7 It is rather in the way.  Does anyone know the name of this app and or how to uninstall it??  Thanks for any help

    That did it, it's gone!  I don't understand, is it uninstalled? 
    THANK YOU so much   

  • I have downloaded viber on my iphone 5.  i cant activate my account because it says that i have to turn on my push notifications, which i have triple checked.  i have also tried deleting the app and redownloading.

    Hi,
    This is an official representative of Viber Media.
    Please try to uninstall>reinstall Viber, make sure you have the latest version available (2.3)
    Viber requires all Push Notification settings to be enabled. Otherwise, it will show the error message requesting to do so. In addition, another possible cause for this problem might be the fact that your iPhone is jailbroken/hacktivated, and that interferes with Push Notifications in your iPhone. Our support team might be able to assist you further with this issue - please thoroughly read this page in our official Help Desk: http://bit.ly/uRG1Dw
    (At its bottom you may contact our Support Team if the solutions outlined in it were not sufficient).

  • How can I delete a app from the Mac App Store completely?

    I have a apllication which had a error. I delete it and download the app from the Mac App Store again, but the error wasn't delete. My iMac had stored it and the Error wasn't deleted so I can't youse the app.
    What can I do to delete the app complete?
    Please answer.

    If your App was faulty in some way you should write to iTunes support.   If you simply want to delete it, most Apps carry uninstall (not delete) instructions.
    Incidentally, I believe you cannot delete the record of your purchase from iTunes.   That will always stay on your purchases list and be marked with a dark grey square as INSTALL..

  • 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.

  • I deleted some apps in Firefox 4 b2, opened 3.6, closed 3.6 and opened FF 4 again. But now it's presenting a series of very severe problems.

    After doing what I described in the thread title, Firefox 4 presented the following issues:
    1- Tabs would not close.
    2- The "forward" and "back" button would not be lit or clickable, as if I didn't visit any websites. Although pages did load, I could not go back and forth between them via these buttons.
    3- the "feedback" button in the right-hand side of the screen was completely gone. Trying to download the respective feedback app that Mozilla provides didn't work, it wouldn't download.
    4- the App Management screen would not open.
    5- I did not save any of the pages from the previous session. They did appear in Firefox 3.6, wich appears to be functioning normally. The apps I had removed in FF4 were also removed in 3.6.
    So basically my FF 4 got completely messed up. Reinstalling it did nothing. Cleaning the registry with Registry Mechanic was to no avail either. I had to uninstall FF4 since it was unusable.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I deleted some apps in FF4, opened 3.6, then opened 4 again

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed.
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox
