Hello there, malinag.
The iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for Apps includes the steps required to delete an App on your iOS device:
Apple - Support - iPhone - Application Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/#section_0
Specifically:
Remove app
If you are having issues with a particular app, try removing the app from your iPhone.
To avoid losing any app data, first back up your information.
Touch and hold any app icon on the Home screen until the icons start to jiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to remove. You may be prompted to rate the app.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your iPhone.
Click the Home button to cancel or stop deleting apps.
Proceed to the next step to reinstall your app.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

    Are you SURE you need to reinstall? Often people believe this but it rarely solves anything. Does a message say you must?

  • Can I get rid of the twitter for iPhone thing at the top for good

    I am using twitter mobile and don't want to install the app. I am wondering instead of hitting the x by the app, can I get rid of that forever or do I have to just hit the x every time? Maybe there's a way and I don't see it. My ipod is a touch 5th Generation. Hope that helps. Thanks for your kind help.

    Just delete the app form the iPod and if you sync with iTunes make sure that you do not resync it to the iPod. You can delete it from your iTunes library too..

  • I have an app on my phone that has a glitch.i want to get rid of the app so that i can re install it,but when i re istall,it comes from the cloud and still has the glitch. how do i remove an app from my cloud

    I have an app that i want to get out of my cloud,can i do this ????? It has a glitch and wont work and when i come to re install, it comes from my cloud along with the glitch. Can anyone help ?

    When you tap the iCloud download symbol it's downloading a fresh copy of the app from the App Store, not from your iCloud account.  (Your previous purchases aren't stored in your iCloud account, they are stored in the App store and can be redownloaded from there.)
    If the app still has a glitch, try contacting the app developer.  Perhaps there's a problem with the app running with iOS 7.1.

  • My dish app isn't working correctly the dish people said I should get rid of the app and get a new app, but the cloud keeps putting the same one back on. How do I delete this from iCloud?

    How do I delete an app from the iCloud that is corrupt?

    When you delete an app and redownload it, you are downloading the most recent version of the app from the App store.  In other words, it isn't stored in your iCloud account, it's only stored in the App store.  The iCloud download symbols are just links to your previously purchased apps in the App store so you can redownload them.
    If redownloading the app didn't help, call Dish back as there must be a problem with the current version of the app.

  • Just got the iPhone6 and did the iCloud setup from a previous backup of my old iPhone5.  iPhone6 is now continuously trying to download the renweb app.  When I try to delete the renweb app, it will not delete.  How can I get rid of the app??

    How can I delete the app off my phone without going through the entire setup of the new phone again?  App will not delete the normal way.  I hit delete and it just stays on the phone and tries to download over and over.

    If it has a cloud icon it means its no longer on your device.  Tapping on the cloud will effectively reinstall the App from scratch to your device. 
    There is no way to remove it from the cloud because its not yours to remove from there. Its the general App repository, you are just given access to it to download content you've already purchased.

  • Get rid of the "*app name* is software downloaded from the internet" popup

    Hey so I downloaded Chrome and Firefox, and whenever I open them it says "Chrome (or) Firefox is software downloaded from the internet on *date here*. Are you sure you want to open it?"
    Theres no checkbox to say "Do not ask me again", so is there a way to get it to NOT ask me again?
    All help is appriciated,
    thanks.

    Are you launching those apps from a different user account than the account that downloaded them?
    From
    About file quarantine in Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6
    If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, the user account that downloaded the file is the only user account that can remove the quarantine attribute to the file.  All other user accounts can open the quarantine file, but they will be presented with the quarantine dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to open it?" every time they open the file.

  • Can i get rid of the app game center? I never use it and it takes up too much space from my iPos touch.

    HELP!!

    As I answered the "owner" of this thread:
    Note, when you open Customize that Bookmarks button will probably appear on the right-side of the Navigation bar - '''NOT ON THE BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR''', directly above where it normally appears on the Bookmarks Toolbar - that is normal when in the Customize mode.
    You were dragging the '''''Bookmarks Toolbar Items''''', which is the "container" for the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.

  • I added a custom ringtone . Then later I tried to add another three set  but now after sync . Am not able to get rid of the first one... It's still there as my custom ringtone. But my iPhone in iTunes shows all four... But the phone shows only one...?

    Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

  • How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

    How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it.
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.
