How do I delete the iOS6 software update files from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 automatically downloaded the iOS6 update. I have no intention to update because of the change to the maps. I use the maps everyday for work. Every feauture and detail is extremely important, so I don't appreciate Google Maps being replaced with a broken, inferior mess. I have a 16GB model and the files take up 2GB of space in 'Other Data'. I just went through my phone clearing data since the phone was full, and now it's filled up again with a 2GB file...
Is there a way to delete the downloaded update, or am I going to be forced to update if I want to remove the files?

Go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores
Click the Apple ID at the top then click Sign out on the pop up menu.
If there are any apps that the old user has downloaded on your iPhone still you will need to delete them as it will ask for the password whenever you try to up date them

  • HT4623 I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete the udate because it said an error occurred. Then it said I needed to restore my phone and when I try to it wont let me restore my back up because it says there's not enough storag

    I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete because it said there was an error. It then gave me a message that I needed to restore my phone. When I tried to restore my backup it says it cannot be completed because there is not enough storage. I cant delete anything to make more storage because my phone is not usable because it wont restore. What do I do?

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

  • Ios7...how do I delete the uninstalled ios7 update that is sitting on my ipad4 ??

    ios7...how do I delete the uninstalled ios7 update that is sitting on my ipad4 ??

    You cannot delete it. See the following CNET article:
    http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57604701-37/ios-6-holdouts-complain-about-larg e-unwanted-ios-7-download/
    Basically, the only way to get it off of the device is to install the update. There's a work-around which I've posted (you can find it linked below) but it can be involved...
    Also see the following discussion here at the Apple forums:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23186537#23186537
    Voice your displeasure at the following link. The only way Apple may change their ways with this issue is if people let them know:

    iPhoto for iOS is no longer being offered by Apple and has been replaced by the Photos app. It is not compatible with iOS 8.  This Apple document may help:  Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support

  • How can I copy the whole directory of files from PC to iPad?

    How can I copy the whole directory of files from PC to iPad ?

    Get an app that reads PDF's, such as iBooks or GoodReader or Readdle Docs, then use the file transfer part of iTUnes to get those files to your iPad, through iTunes. ( I have no experience with goodreader, but with ReaddleDocs you can move the files, then create folders to put them in to keep them organized)

  • How can I locate the original .CR2 /  Raw file from Photos in finder?

    How can I locate the original .CR2 /  RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program.  I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
    Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.

  • How to add agent software in the agent software update list from OEM12C?

    The OMS version is 12C. In the OEM web page, the agent software should have a list for all platform in the agent software update list, where you can go from setup => extensibility => self update => agent software. But we only have agent for linux. The rest of them were removed earlier. We need to add back the agent software for Sun SPARC and Sun x86 (intel). Can somebody tell how to do it?
    Thanks!

    If you have deleted the agent software in self update then its very simple to get them back.
    a) From the Self Update page, select the Agent Software entity, then click Check Updates to get the latest agent binaries
    b) A job is triggered and once it is done, you will see that the Available Updates column has been updated. A confirmation message is also displayed.

  • Deleted the iPod Software Updater 2006-01-10

    My Ipod was not sync'ing any songs so i thought i was because of the iPod Software Updater 2006-01-10 so i deleted it thinking when i restore the ipod to it's factory setting it will install it again, but although when i restored the ipod the songs sync'ed fine and everything was working but it didn't replace the iPod Software Updater 2006-01-10 that i deleted ealier. I found a website where i can download it again but it says that the system reqirements are 10.5.1 or later and i have a 10.4.11, which cant be right because i had it intalled on my system before. Should i download this version, do i even need it?

    You don't need it, you update through iTunes now, not through a separate updater.

    Honestly, I have not even bothered to try to get it yet.  I'll do it this coming weekend, when I can do it at my liesure (my iPhone is also my only phone, so I never leap into any update immediately - I like to let the dust settle a bit and see just how it goes - let others be my beta-testers, as it were).

  • HT4236 How do I delete the photos in my "Photo library" and "Iphone photo" albums?

    Help in deleting photos
    I can look at my photos on my Iphone like a hard drive and copy and paste the photos to my computer. I can then delete a batch at a time on the Iphone camera roll.  However, how do I delete the 242 photos in my "photo library" album and the 242 duplicate photos in my "Iphone photo" album? When I click on the arrow box icon in the upper right corner of my phone, I can click on a photo, but the delete icon is not available.
    I am trying to free up more space on my phone and I want to delete these photos that I have already downloaded to my computer.

    Check and see if they synced from more than one computer app.
    In itunes, Photos> Check mark "Sync Photos from". See what else is in the drop down menu. (i.e. iphoto, pictures folder, Aperture, choose folder, etc.). If you get the option to: Select Albums, Events, Faces and automatically include. Check mark that, and see if any blue album, or events are ticked. If so, uncheck mark and go down and click Apply/Sync.

  • How do I delete a 2 photo stream folder from my Iphone 4 device

    I followe the instructions on resetting my photo stream. It deleted all the pics from one Photo Stream Folder but not the other. I dont even know how I got 2 photo stream folders. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the pics in the second folder and or how to completely delete the 2nd photo stream folder.  Please help.... Thanks all...

    Depends on which photos.
    Camera Roll pics ( taken with the iphone) can be deleted one at a time from the iphone, or when you import them to your computer as with any digital camera.
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer are deleted the sam way - the sync process.  Open itunes, select what you want on your iphone, sync.
