How can I completely delete a downloaded movie that had an error in downloading? It is using up 3.5GB on my iPad and I can't even play it.

I downloaded a 3.5GB movie in iTunes and then deleted it when it failed to download properly. But, it is still using up all the space on my iPad. I now have less then 1GB for use. How can I clean this out? Thanks.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How do I completely delete a picture so that it no longer appears anywhere on my mac?

    I have a few pictures that I have deleted from messages that still appear in recent documents within preview. How do I completely delete these files? They were not saved to my documents or in iphoto. I opened them when I tried deleting them from my messages, and apparently preview made a temporary copy that will not delete, even after the mac has been shut off and restarted. I could remove the file from previews recent documents, but does that delete the file too? I want to make sure it is completely erased. I could move the file to my documents and delete it (right now it is in some crazy folder that wont show up in my finder) but would that just copy the file? Thanks in advance

    When you export, try to get the full file path or else you will have to do a lot of manual searching.
    If you downloaded the picture from Messages, the picture is stored in your User Library/Messages. to make your User Library visible, hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. 
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • My ipad2 will not connect to my wifi and now i have a download that will not close or allow me to use other apps or shut the ipad off what can I do?

    I bought the ipad 2 about a month ago now and have tried to connect my wifi and it says I cannot join my wifi.  Now I have two pop ups for downloads that will not allow me to open apps or shut the ipad off.  What should I do?

    Hi,
    For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
    In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA.  For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems.  Let me know if this helps.
    Cheers.

  • How do I delete a rental movie that could not download

    How do I delete a rental move that could not be downloaded

    Have you tried swiping across the progress bar and see of a delete button comes up that way?
    Or try Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos. If the movie appears in the setting, try the edit button in the upper right corner.
    You can also try resetting the iPad and then see if you can delete the download.
    Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I watched TV shows in my iPhone, deleted them, but still occupy space in my iPhone! How can I completely delete them?

    I purchased and downloaded 6 episodes of a TV show. I watched them all, then deleted them from iPhone and iPad to free up the space.
    The videos are removed from iPad completely, but when I sync the iPhone the purple bar in iTunes indicates that I still have all the 6 videos! The size of the 6 files and the size of the 6 videos the purple bar indicate are the same. I am not syncing TV shows (Sync TV show isn't selected whenI sync the phone with my computer). How can I completely delete them? 
    Nothing appears in Videos, usage/videos!
    I can't click any TV show to watch in iTunes app either even if I find the same TV shows.
    I have no propblem with iPad, but problem is only with iPhone.
    The videos are not HD.
    Any suggestion to free up the space?
    Thanks!

  • How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
    Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

  • HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

    How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

    I have a similar problem.  The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
    I have a problem with both of these solutions!  The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either.  But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
    Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!

  • How can i completely delete message app from my mac?

    how can i completely delete the message app from my mac?

    As per email.
    Hi,
    In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
    Navigate to the Preferences folder.
    Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
    This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
    If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
    On the iPhone.
    Go to Settings > Messages  and check the app is ON first.
    Then check the Send and Receive Section.
    This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
    Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
    If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
    This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
    Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
    After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
    You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
    (I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
    You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
    If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
    Please stick to one method of asking me  (The thread will do for now.)
    I am here 3 hours every evening.
    I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
    I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
    Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
    In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
    Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that.  (The Status Message one will not)
    You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font  is the answer.

    How can I completely delete an app from my Macbook Pro?

    For programs that do not require an Administrator's password to install on your Mac, drag its program icon to the Trash. For those that require a password, research its developer's website or other support options for specific uninstallation instructions.
    Never use all-purpose "cleaners" or "zappers" or similarly named clever utilities to uninstall anything.

  • HT1311 For some unknown reason I have two Apple ID/Accounts in operation which is causing an issue. How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

    For some unknown reason I have two Apple ITunes/ID Accounts in operation.
    How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

    I have a similar situation.. in my case, I started using an Apple ID a while back, then when MobileMe was introduced, I got an account there, and somehow that is the account that is mostly used when making updates or purchases.
    Sometimes when making updates, it prompts me for the PW for one account, and sometimes for the other.
    This is a real pain - is there anyway both these accounts can be consolidated into one?  When I asked an Apple rep, I was told 'no', but they have been known to make mistakes when giving advice.  So, is there a way?  Technically, I don't see this as a problem.. but Apple seems to be of the opinion that this would lead to having apps 'shared' amoung users. I think all that would be necessary if for me to provide the necessary proof that both accounts are indeed mine, and not belonging to someone else.
    If not, what about deleting the apps registered to one account, and then re-purchasing them with the other account?  To do this, I would need to identify which apps are registered to which accouts - is this possible? Most of my apps are free, but there are a few I paid for.. not many, so this possible solution might work and not cost too much.  Ideas?

  • Can't Completely Delete a Time Machine Backup

    How do I completely delete a Time Machine Backup? In Snow Lepord I had no problem with deleting a Time Machine Backup. I back up my HHD on a external HHD. Since using Time Machine with Lion the back ups are not being fully deleted. My trash can each time I connect my external HHD is displaying deleted files. When I go to delete from trash I am told there are locked items. So I select the option to delete locked items, hear the deleted trash can sound but the trash can still indicates the files haven't been perminetly deleted yet. What is my problem here?

    None of that worked. I used the Terminal method. No good.
    What does "no good" mean?  What happened, or didn't happen?  That should empty the trash on the disk. As mentioned, it may take a long time, if there's lots of files there.
    Repairing will be no good to be cause my external HD contains everything on one partition. The backups are not on there own partition like that site assumes. Repairing did no good.
    Do you mean you didn't try it?  If so, try it.  It may or may not be able to repair them, but it's worth a try.
