How do I permanently delete apps from my iPad?

When you delete an application, it's data is not permanently deleted.  I'd like to know how you permanently delete all of the application data.

This is copied for an iPhone thread but it works the same way for an iPad.
If you really want to get rid of it: iTunes>Library>Apps...right-click the app you want to delete, select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Then, make sure you first delete the app on your phone, then sync your phone. The app and all traces of its data will be gone.
iTunes meaning launch iTunes on your computer and remove the app from your iTunes library as well.
Here is the thread.

    I would like to know if it's possible to permanently delete unwanted apps and moves off my Ipad2? I have tried my when I reset my Ipad, they are still there! HELP

    Yes you can permanently delete them from the iPad, but if you sync with iTunes and the apps and movies are still in iTunes, you have to delete them in there as well or they will transfer back to the iPad once you sync again.
    Forgive the title of the website.

    If this isn't working for you, explain what you are doing and what "reset my iPad" means in this regard.

    They are not taking up storage space.  Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can.  This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
    It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

  • How can I permanently remove apps from my ipad, iphone and ipod (which are in icloud)?

    How can I permanently remove apps from my iphone, ipad, ipod operating in the iCloud?

    Apps don't operate in the cloud - they're either downloaded to your device, or they're in your Purchased list. You can't permanently remove the history of apps you've purchased, but you can hide them. See this link:

  • How do I permanently delete apps from my purchased list?

    I know how to hide them but I just want to clear them permanently so that I don't have all this 'documents and data' saved from apps that I only used once and have long since deleted, can u help?

    You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, hiding them is all that you can do.
    You can control which apps are backed up to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage on the device - do those apps show there, and you are able to delete their content from the backup there ?

  • How can I permanently delete apps from iCloud on my child's iPad

    Up front, I'd like to say that this question has nothing to do with storage space - rather, it's about deleting apps, for parenting reasons, the iCloud. 
    We wish to permanently remove select apps from our child's iPad.  We cant seem to do this - while they are not active on the home screen, by going into itunes or the App Store, they can simply be downloaded again without our knowledge or consent.
    Are there any provisions for parental controls over the iCloud?
    Thanks.

    By going to settings - general - restrictions - parental controls can be setup to limit the age appropriate content including apps. By hiding those apps on your computer you may be able to change their visibility as well, but I haven't had a chance to check it - try it yourself if you want.

  • How do you permanently delete apps from iTunes 11.0.1?

    I've seen a few community discussions about this however it seems to be discussing the former version of iTunes.  I have version 11.0.1 and when I right click to delete as has been instructed previously I don't get a delete option.  In fact, I don't get any sort of option. 
    So, I'm hoping to get some sort of insight to delete some of these apps from iTunes that were trials... or silly games I downloaded when I was bored and never plan to play again.  It just gets old sorting through them all.
    Thanks!

    Hi HarmWong,
    See if this helps. It is from the iTunes 11 for Windows Apple Support site:
    Delete an item from your library
                            Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.                    
                            Click Delete Item.                                            
                            Do one of the following:                       
       Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.                                                        
       Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Recycle Bin. The item is removed the next time you empty the Recycle Bin.                                                        
    Removing an item from a playlist doesn’t remove it from your iTunes library or your computer. Deleting a playlist or folder doesn’t remove the songs from your library or hard disk.                 
    When you delete a folder, all the playlists and folders inside that folder are also deleted.
    If you can’t remove a song, make sure you didn’t select a song in a Smart Playlist with “Live updating” turned on.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

    I would imagine only the App developer or Apple could remove an app from the App Store.
    You can delete apps from your phone. You can hide things in your purchase history using iTunes on your computer.

    Open the Messages App to teh messages list. Tap Edit. Tap the minus icon for each mesage thread, then tap Delete. Individual messages can be deleted from teh thread view by tapping Edit, selecting the message , then tapping Delete (lower left).
    Caveat - this will delete SMS messages from the Phone. How long they aactually remain on the server depends on your carrier's policies.

  • How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?

    How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?  It still shows old contacts once I've removed them from my phonebook

    i know that!! After you delete them and then compose a new text it is still there. Basically you know when you send an email to someone and do not store them it still auto populates their name. This is what happens with my phone. I Google this issue and learn some knowledge about data eraser tips.  Maybe most people still don’t know that actual contents of file are not really deleted when performing simple deletion operation on your iPhone or other devices. But they are just marked for deletion and not shown in the file system of your iOS device. The actual data are still physically present on your iPhone. For iOS system, the only way to completely erase the data is to overwrite the original contents by using iPhone data eraser app. this is the guide on how to permanently delete contacts on iPhone.
      The same thing happens to me, but it doesn't require deleting a contact. When I delete/replace a contact's number, the Messages.app still autocompletes the number with the contact's name and references it as "other".
