How do I delete apps to free space on my iPad

I seem to have way to much space being used BY apps on my iPad. I don't have very many apps on there and have removed all but the most necessary ones. However, when I look at my summary of free space, it tells me that I have 20+ GB of apps using space. There really isn't much more that I can remove and when I look at the list of apps, none of the remaining ones seem to be taking up any significant space. Likewise, I have, in the summary box, several movies that are showing as duplicates and I can't de-select them so as to remove the duplication.
Thanks in advance for any help ideas.

TS1702 how do i remove apps to free space on my 3gs

I'm trying to free up space on my iphone 3gs. Any ideas?

Just delete them, the usual way, Press on one until they start to "giggle", then touch the "X" at the upper left corner of the icon to delete.
Note that you can't delete the stock IOS apps or if deleting apps is prevented in the phone restrictions.

Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?

If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

HOw DO I delete apps to create more storage so I can back up

HOw can I delete apps to create more storage or delete videos or photos from iphone. I have deleted some from my Mac desk top already. They should be deleting on all devices,right. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP

If you're talking about backing up to iCloud, deleting Apps is almost irrelevant. Apps aren't backed up to iCloud. App Data is, but that's usually a small amount. Plus, you can control what gets backed up to iCloud. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > This Device. Then, turn off whatever data you don't want backed up to iCloud. Usually, Photos & Videos take up the most space.
You can turn that off, and simply import your Photos & Videos to your computer for safekeeping.
Also, you can increase your iCloud storage from the free 5GB to +10 GB ($20/year), +20 GB ($40/year) or +50 GB GB ($100/year).

How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?

How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application. Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb

This is ridiculous!
Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
This is bad for:
1. The user (me)
2. The app developer - lost download.
3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!

After a few minutes it pop up on my iphone homescreen, it can't be loaded. So I tried to delete it but it cant be deleted. (there is no x mark on top of it). I then use my itunes to synchronize it through my iphone but it wasnt able to delete it. I then bought the apps at apsstore ( Victorian Mystery), which is not free for today and I synchronize and it cant be installed on my Iphone. I just cant delete the APP. I need help.

How do I set aside 1G free space for a game?

Trying to install civ4- how do I set aside 1G free space for a game?

if your son is set as a child under your Family Share settings you should be able to turn on "Ask permission" for purchases. If you do have that on I don't know why it's not prompting him to ask.
Another way to stop in-app-purchases is to set restriction on his iOS device. (Turn off in-app-purchases under General/Restrictions)

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

Match was off. I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option. I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back. This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work. It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes. However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes.
Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

How do I delete apps on my macbook pro?

How do I delete apps on my macbook pro?

Depends on the application...some you can simply drag to the trash, but with most it is best to use an uninstaller provided by the author of the software. Many of the larger applications place files in numerous locations, libraries, etc. So you need to know everywhere a file has been placed. An uninstaller should go get those files and remove them.

You can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

How do I delete apps from iCloud?

You can't at this time. Apple FAILED to permit iCloud user with ability to delete programs that you deleted from your iPad/iPhone devices. As great iCloud is just know that if you download an app and don't like it you stuck with it in the cloud dispute you deleting it from your device.
APPLE, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS? At least make it a belated Christmas gift to you fellow Apple clients. PLEEEEEEASSSSSSE! Thank you!

How do I delete apps that I do not want on my device anymore?

DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps = Off / On
If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.
