How can i delete old outdated emails from my ipad?

Ipads and Iphones remember every email I have ever used.  Even if I make a typo or if I have deleted an old email.  There seems to be no way of deleting them.  Now I find that when I was in a hurry and sent an email to "Teresa"  the choices that come up are the new AND the old one. Also, my husband thought his gmail was [email protected] but it REALLY was [email protected]  The devices remember both so when I copy him on an event i am offered both choices and have to debate with myself which is correct.  Any know a way to fix this???
Thanks!

Hi Ritahyde - There is a way to remove recent email addresses that you have used on your iPad and iPhone as long as they are not in your contacts. To do this, create a new email and start typing the email address that he would like to delete. As soon as it pops up, there will be on the right-hand side a circle with the letter "I". Tap on that circle and you will be taken to your recent email address and at the bottom you can click on "remove from recents".
Now, if you do not see that circle icon to the right of that email address, that means that you have saved this email address in your contacts and you need to delete it from there first.
Hope this helps!

  • How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    Hi lizdance40,
    The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that!  However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
    Thanks again,
    Sirsheila

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

    How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

    You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
    Here is the support article that explains it all.

  • How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

    I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
    How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
    Thanks!

  • How can I delete a photo album from my IPad?

    How can I delete a photo album from my I Pad?

    You can turn off photo stream via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream 'off' , I don't think that it is possible to remove individual photo stream photos. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

  • How can I delete all my email from my outlook account without deleting the account?

    I am trying to delete the many emails from my outlook account which I can bring up on my ipad mini.  I want to keep the outlook email on the ipad.  So far all I have been able to do is bring up the email list, touch edit, then touch each email then move to trash.  I have a lot of email and would like to delete them all at once.  Thanks for any assistance!

    The Apple instructions state:
    Edit a mailbox.
    While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select certain messages or tap Mark All, then:
    Tap Mark to Flag, Mark as Read or Move to Junk
    Tap Move to move selected messages into a mailbox
    Tap Trash to move them to the trash
    If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.
    Unfortunately, the MOVE and the Trash buttons never activate ... is there a fix for this or is this an oversight?

  • HT1657 How can I delete a rented movie from my ipad before its expiration date?

    How can I delete a watched rented movie from my Ipad before its expiration date?

    Hello, K M Cartwright. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You definitely can delete the movie prior to the expiration date.  However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it.  Here are the steps on how to delete iTunes media.

  • How do i delete all my emails from my ipad

    How can I delete all of the messages in my email?  It keeps telling me its unable to delete.  I would like to be able to mass delete instead of deleting one at a time.

    The only way to mass delete would be to go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and remove that email account.

  • How can I delete old, incorrect contacts from iCloud?

    There are hidden duplicates in my iCloud contacts - old ones for contacts where I've updated info. They don't show up in the regular contacts list ("all contacts"), yet they always show up when I enter a name into an email address and in iPhoto's Faces names. I can't change them to the correct names in iPhoto. And I can't find them to delete the old data.
    Anyone know where these are stored (old contact data that's been deleted or updated)? And, how can I access that place?
    Thank you.

    Well.....
    After an incredible amount of research on this issue, I discovered it's not new. In fact, there have been many complaints about it with no action (to date) by Apple. Here's what's happening...
    On iOS devices (iPad, iPhone), when an email is received or an email address is changed, IN THE EMAIL APP, a cache is formed with all the "received email addresses." These - right/wrong/incorrect/whatever are stored and pop up when you enter an email recipient. THERE IS NO WAY TO DELETE THESE ON iDEVICES.
    However, if you have a Mac, it's an easy cure -
    Open Mail > Windows > Previous recipients > select those you want out (or all, for that matter - doesn't affect the Contacts list) > Remove.
    Too bad Apple hasn't seen fit to add this to its iOS functionality. Maybe if enough complaints are received, it might show up in iOS6 ?????

  • How do I delete old downloaded emails from hotmail

    When I bought my Macbook Pro the Apple tech helping me set it up incorrectly started downloading thousands of old emails from my Hotmail account. I don't use the email account on my Macbook and prefer not to. How do I find and delete these emails and the attachments that were included? I just recently figured out that they exist on my Macbook. Thanks!

  • How can I check my iCloud email from an iPad?

    When travelling i used to check my email using mobile me from any mac, pc or laptop.
    We have a family iPad with its own apple ID and iCloud account, I thought I would be able to use it via Safari to log onto my iCloud email remotely, but it always defaults to iPad set up.
    How can I add a second iCloud account to the iPad, just to check mail?  Thanks. 

    Worked it out!
    I just added my apple ID as another mail account, via settings/mail rather than settings/iCloud.
