Deleting Unused Apps

How can I delete unused apps

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
To delete apps, press and hold you finger over an app you wish to delete from your iPod. After a few seconds all your apps should start shaking and your purchased (free or not) should have a small X appear in the upper corner. Go ahead and click this small X to delete the App.
When you are finished press the Home button to get the Apps to show shaking. Keep in mind you are not allowed to delete any of the Apps that come with the iPod.

How do i delete unused apps in the cloud that i no longer use or want

pleae help me with deleteing apps in the cloud i no longer use or want.

You can't, you can only hide them. You can't delete them because they aren't stored in your personal iCloud account (and don't use any of your storage). Those are links to your previously purchased apps in the App store so you can redownload them. You can, however, hide them so they won't appear on your purchased list by hiding them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

TS1702 Deleting unwanted apps

How can I delete unused apps from my iPhone and iPad that do not show up on iTunes but still show on the devices when I pull up the "purchase history" I have deleted the iCloud, synced both devices etc. I have hidden them but do they still take up space?

They do not appear on home screen
They are just apps I've downloaded then deleted because didn't want

I am having trouble in downloading apps as when I try, a message appears " not enough local storage is available manage this in settings". I have tried by deleting old apps but the message still appears. What am I doing wrong and is there anybody that c

I am having trouble downloading apps onto my iPad2. When I try a message appears " not enough local storage this can be managed in settings.". I ave tried by deleting unused apps, but the same message appears. How can I resolve this ? Help needed pleas.

Try rebooting the iPad as well. You might be getting an inaccurate reading and rebooting might clear that up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Delete unused, free Apps in iTunes

Hi there,
since I don't use many of the apps I have downloaded in the past, I'd like to clean up my iTunes Apps-page.
Is there a way to delete those apps I don't use and didn't pay for to begin with?
I don't want to go ahead and delete an app I once payed money for, which is why I'm hesitating to delete any app to begin with.
Thanks to all in advance!
Fabian

You can select/highlight the apps that you don't want and then just press the delete key on your keyboard to delete them. You can't sort the apps by price, but if you delete a paid-for one by mistake then as long as it is still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy it, then you should be able to re-download it for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You can also hide (and unhide) past purchases from your Purchased list so that the apps that you no longer want are hidden from your re-download list : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

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

Deleting unused swatches change the gradient

Hi All,
I have tried this Javascript to remove unused swatches in a document (Indesign CS4). It did remove all the unused swatches but it changed the used gradient color into black color and still has the gradient property but couldn't change any color values for that particular gradient after running the script.
#target indesign
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
for (var j=myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches.length; j > 0; j--)
myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[j-1].remove();
Please advise me where I did wrong and also please suggest the right solution for this.

Hi Friends
Use this script it will help ful.
# target "Deleting unused swatches change the gradient"
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
for (var s = myUnusedSwatches.length-1; s >= 0; s--) {
var mySwatch = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[s];
var name = mySwatch.name;
// alert (name);
if (name != ""){
mySwatch.remove();

Deleting unused swatches except for...

I have a script that cleans up my document... one of the functions is that it deletes unapplied swatches. This works well for me most of the time but in instances where I'm using a color whose name begins with a "D", I want the script to ignore it.
In my workflow, "D" represents a digital process and we don't apply a color swatch to digitally printed artwork but a "D" swatch is necessary for our output program to sort the job to the correct printer. The swatch names vary but always begin with a "D" (DBLK, DGLD, DGRN....).
Thoughts, suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help.
//delete unused swatches
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
for (var s = myUnusedSwatches.length-1; s >= 0; s--) {
var mySwatch = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[s];
var name = mySwatch.name;
// alert (name);
if (name != ""){
mySwatch.remove();
(I found this little script somewhere in these forums - I apologize for not having the credit information available)

Hi,
replace the line:
if (name != ""){
with:
if (name != "" && name.search(/^D/) == -1){
...(/^D/i) if not case sensitive...

You cannot and have never been able to delete the apps that come standard on the iphone.
You can only, and hasve always only been able to, delete apps that you have added.

Can I tell iTunes, on my desktop, to delete any apps that I don't have installed on my devices?

I want to know if there is a way to ask iTunes to delete any and all unused mobile apps that I do not have installed on either of my mobile devices?
I have apps that I haven't used in a long while and, while I can delete them manually, I was wondering if there was a way to ask iTunes to automatically delete any apps that are not currently installed on my devices?
Thoughts?

That would be nice, but I do not believe it's currently possible.
However, this blog outlines a way to do it by deleting everything from iTunes and then reimporting from your devices.

Why can't i delete some apps?

I just upgraded to iOS7 (hate the new look BTW) and now I have Facetime as an app. I don't want it 'cause frankly I have no use for it, but apparently I can't delete it, just like the Games app. Is there some way to delete standard apps that apparently come with the OS?
Shado

The Apps included with the iOS can not be deleted. Your best bet may be to move the unused Apps to a common folder, call it "Unused" and move it to the last screen.

Delete unused swatches in InDesign CS5, js

Hi,
I need to select and delete unused swatches in InDesign CS5. I looked through OMV in "Swatches" and "Swatch", but I could not find any function to select unused swatch and delete it.
Am I looking for it in the wrong place?
And I also need to read color values for used swatches. I got this in OMV and was hoping it would give me an array of the color values for all existing swatches, but I am only getting "Object color":
mySwatches = myDoc.swatches[1].getElements();
alert (mySwatches)
Thank you for your help.
