How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

I am an IT in a government office who just switched our fleet to iPhones.  We are not permitted to use certains apps that are either not in our data contract, touch the Cloud, or cause cost/personnel issues.  Those items I try to corral in a folder "Unusable Apps" on a separate page where the user has little eye contact with them (outta sight outta mind right).  I go through the motions of turning off every notification, update, share feature, etc. I can find but the icons are still on the phone.  I have a fleet of about 100 iPhones and at least half my users are sneaky & curious and often try to reactivate things I have already hidden or turned off per our agency telecommunications policy.  I just want them removed all together so I don't have to keep going through this and for those who can't fight temptation - they won't have to anymore.  How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

You may want to repost this in one of the iPhone for Business forums:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/iphone_in_business_and_education
You'll want to ask about Configurator.
My company uses iPads as part of a Point of Sale System. They have restricted access to many of the built in apps and deployed custom apps.
Best of luck.

  • How do I remove all apps from my iPhone?

    How do I bulk remove all apps from my iPhone? There has to be a better way than removing each one manually. Thanks.

    It's easiest to plug it into the computer if you have a lot, and click on the Music tab of the iPhone. Then, either Control-A (Windows) or Command-A (Mac) to select all of the songs then press delete on your keyboard. If you have a few, it is easiest to swipe over the individual songs and press delete.

  • How do I remove unwanted apps from my Iphone 5C?

    I have gone to Settings - General- Usage and have updated the apps I wish to show on the screen, powered down and powered back up, yet the icons are still showing on the screen. What can I do to make the icons go away?

    What apps are you trying to remove? The area you describe in settings does not remove apps from the phone. You cannot remove apps that are native to iOS, such as Weather, Stocks, etc. Apps that you have downloaded from the App Store can be removed by holding down on the icon until it starts to wiggle. That will display a small "x" in the corner of the icon. Tap on that and it will remove the app from the phone.

  • TS1702 How do I remove a app from my iPhone?

    I am trying to get a few apps off my iPhone. They were free apps that I downloaded but do not use.

    Apps that you downloaded, hold one until they start to shake and a black circle appears with an X in it.  Touch the black circle of those you want to delete and they go away.

    It could be that Restrictions are set on the iPhone to prevent deleting apps:
    Open the Settings App
    General
    Restrictions (the button will indicate if it is on, and you will be prompted to type the security code)
    Either disable Restrictions or Turn Deleting app back on

  • How do I remove an app from the menubar

    I deleted an app form my lanchpad when it was requesting a password as resident on the menubar and when I try to quit it at the menubar it does not close.  How do I remove this app from the menubar?

    Command-click it and drag it out. If that doesn't work, find and run an uninstaller for that application.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • HT201272 How do I remove an App from My Apple cloud

    How do I remove an App from my Itunes Account

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    But that doesn't appear to be working properly on iOS 7 - hiding the app on your computer and then logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in may make it hidden on it.

    Hi,
    The v10.6.7 "combo" update addresses MAS bugs.  You can download and install from this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

    How do I pernamantly remove an app from my iPhone 4 ?

    Depends on the app. Built in apps - Safari, Music, itunes, etc. - can't be removed. Apps you have downloaded can be deleted by tapping and holding on any app icon, then taping the X to delete.
