How can I delete an app that is not on my desktop, thanks.

My account has been hacked and an app purchased, I now wish to delete this but it does not show on my desktop. Any help appreciated.

You can't delete it up unless you can find it.
Are all of your screens full? If they are, the only way to see additional apps would be to find them in the Spotlight Search. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to reveal the search bar at the top. Type in the name of the app. It will show you what it folder it is in next to the app name.
If you really believe that your account was hacked, I hope that you plan on contacting Apple/iTunes Support, remove your credit card and do whatever is necessary to protect your personal information.

    How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    Delete an App Store app: Touch and hold its icon on the Home screen until the icon starts to jiggle, then tap the "x" . You can’t delete built-in apps. When you finish, press the Home button.
    Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge

  • 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

  • How can I delete suggested contacts that are not in my contact list?

    I inadvertently sent an email "reply all.". Now all 50 people show up when I get suggested recipients.  How can I delete them?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to delete those contacts in the current iOS - at least as far as I know. You just have to ignore them and eventually they will at least go to the bottom of the suggestion list that pops up in mail.

  • HT4673 how can i delete an app that won't move to the trash?

    I have an app that I can't delete -- it is not an apple app.  The message said it was in the trash, so I moved it back to my desktop (it's a zip file) and I want it off of my app folder and I can't delete it.

    Open Terminal and type the following:
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='APP_NAME';" && killall Dock
    Replace APP_NAME with the full name of the application.

  • How can i delete a file that is not working?

    Hi there. I have the following problem. Under the all files folder there are a couple of .avi files that do not appear anywhere else on my system, they are not working and they cannot be deleted or opened! When I click on them, I get a message that says delete, repair alias or ok. Click delete or ok and nothing happens, click repair and it says locate the original file. When I do so, again nothing happens!!
    Can anyone please help? I want to get rid of them as they are taking over a precious 10GB on my macbook air
    Thank you

    OK, this officially crosses over to the bizarre.
    I believe booting from the Lion recovery partition and selecting Disk Utility is next. Run "repair disk". I believe that it will find some directory corruption and should fix it.
    Here are a couple of places to go for more help, courtesy of Pondini.
    Verify your internal HD, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't help, see Where did my Disk Space go?

  • How can I delete an app that doesn't appear on my screen?

    My tapped out app doesn't appear on my home screen and I can't find how to delete it. The app will not work. Every time I try to access it I get the message that it 'cannot connect to server'.

    Your iPod is connected to the internet, and have you tried closing the game via the taskbar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Tapped Out app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Tapped Out app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
    If you can't find it on any of your iPod's homescreens then can you connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes ? If you can then do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to make sure that all apps (and other downloads) are on your computer, and then on the iPod's Apps tab on your computer's iTunes you should be able to use the listbox of apps to find where a downloaded app is on your iPod (double-click an app in the listbox and it should show on the screen mock-ups where it is), and use the 'remove' button next to an app to delete it (which will also remove its content and settings) and click 'Apply' at the bottom right of the screen - the 'remove' button will then change to 'install' so that you can re-install it (and again click 'Apply') :

  • How do I delete an App that did not fully install and Will Not delete in the usual fashion?

    Has anyone experienced this situation: you download an App; supposedly completed it shows up on my home screen with an icon that says "loading". It cannot be opened or deleted. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of it. It happened to be the Costco mobile app.

    Hi,
    If you have the Download (or .dmg) then go to System Preferences > Security an Unlock the Padlock for the General tab.
    You may need to set the bottom option "Anywhere"  to allow Apps not from the App Store to be installed.

  • How can I delete flagged emails that are not visible in my account boxes?

    Currently I show 43 flagged emails but not in any of my accounts is there a flag.  I am not sure if I deleted them early in learning to use my iphone 4s or what.  Certainly I had flagged email messages in the past.  Any suggestions?  I have tired going into my various email accounts on the iphone and checking all of the deleted emails for each account.  I only found seven flagged messages. 
    Much appreciation for any suggestions.
    Thanks!

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

    I have an app that appeared to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?

    Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
    If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
    Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app -  tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    As already provided, if you don't have such in your iTunes library, on your computer, then there is no way to put it back on your phone. Apps are DRM protected, so even if you found a copy somewhere, you wouldn't be able to use it.
