How do I delete an app and all of it's components?

Hi there,
Just like the heading suggests, how can I do this? I've tried my best but can't seem to find a way to acces the "place" where the apps are installed/stored.
Many thanks for any help,
Jacobo

Just press and hold the app until they start to shake, and press the 'x' on any that you want to delete; press the home button when you've finished so as to stop the shaking. That should delete the app and all it's data/content. You can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps (iTunes, iPod, App Store, Game Centre etc.).

  • How can I delete an app and all of it's data...

    I am at my wits end.  I have the Medicare express plus app and I have had to recreate a new myGov account and link the app back up with the new myGov.  However, because I had an old myGov account the app is still linked up to that and I can't uninstall and reinstall to put new data into it and link it to the new myGov.  Stupid myGov account, if you stuff up your passwords 3 times it locks you out for the rest of your life.  You have to create a new account with new email everything.  DUMB!!  Anyway....
    I have deleted the app.  I have deleted the info off iTunes and put in recycle bin then deleted the contents then synced.  Whenever I go to reinstall the medicare app, it reinstalls the app with all the same info, which no longer works because it's linked to the old myGov.  So it is not making me re register again at all.  So frustrating.  It is not in my icloud info either, so it's not picking it up from there, i've checked the settings on the iphone for that.  Once I deleted it and synced on itunes, I then turned the phone off and on again and then tried to reinstall again, STILL giving me the same app with same data, which doesn't work anymore.. far out!!
    I want to reinstall the app and have to start from scratch and register again.  It just won't come to the party and it's starting to irriate me to no end.  I just don't know how to fix it.
    Can someone please help me???  Anyone?????

    It's not clear from your post if you've tried downloading the app again from the App Store directly on your phone. If you haven't I'd give that a try.

  • My phone keeps saying the storage is full so I deleted pictures, apps, and all my texts. Then after I do this my phone freezes and I have to restart it. When I restart my phone then everything I deleted comes back. What is going on?

    HI Shelby,
    It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting 
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • TS1702 how can I delete camera app and reload?

    I don't want to have to restore my phone just to reload the camera app.  for some reason the app opens to blank screen.  if I use the slide to camera, it works properly but that feature doesn't have the option to forward, send, etc photos.  anyone got a solution as to how I can delete the camera app and reload it?

    You can't delete any of the pre-installed apps. Try a reset:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    If that doesn't change things, a restore from backup is the next step.

  • How do I delete a program (and all remnants) from my iMac?

    My wife has a 20" iMac with an HP printer (USB connection). I need to delete all references to HP printer software from her iMac so I can re-install her printer's software. Her iMac sees my wireless HP printer and not her printer. Thanks!

    www.appzapper.com -- www.cnet.com for a review of the application
    the appZapper is a good piece of software. you can zapp your first five apps away for free. you can visit cnet.com for a review of this and other applications and you can download it from the cnet site too. cnet is a fairly reputable site. the appZapper is really thorough at removing all traces of a program so make sure that whatever it is you'd like to zap into oblivion, be sure that you really want it to go away.
    goodluck!

  • How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have.  But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded.  soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

    How do I delete an app on iTunes?  I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete".  But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either).  I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

    If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
    Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

    When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library.  When I hit "apply" I got this message:
    Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
    (By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
    Thanks for your help - Pat

    I have the same problem.  I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad -  clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad.  WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

  • TS1702 I have an app that appears 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?

    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.

  • How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete

    How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete.
    Accidently deleted rapidweaver and all of its content and paid plugins with it. all contain in its package contents. how do i restore.  I tried using recovery software.

    It is possible that you inadvertently corrupted the file while doing the edit.
    But it could also be possible that you moved the file? For iMovie to see it, it should be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder.

  • HT2693 My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    First of all - you are running the proper iOS in order to use the latest version of Pages - correct? You need iOS 6 now.
    If so ....See if this helps. Maybe Pages will open after you try this.
    Quit the Pages app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ..... 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.
    If that didn't help backup and send your files into iTunes with file sharing.
    You could lose all of your files if you delete and reinstall the app. That is precisely why you should backup your iPad and send your files into iTunes using files sharing on the iPad. Do you backup or use file sharing?
    Backup your iPad, send the files from the iPad into iTunes using file sharing and then delete the app and reinstall it.

  • 2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

    2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

    Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.
