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.

    How do I remove unwanted apps from my iphone 4s?

    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 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'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.

  • TS1702 How do you remove unwanted apps from your newsstand?

    How do you remove unwanted magazines from your newsstand?

    I have the ipod touch 5th generation. I tried to remove the magazine from the newsstand by pressing and holding the magazine until it wiggled but no delete option appeared (that small little "x" in the upper corner). After some rather frustrating searches that revealed nothing I plugged my ipod into my computer via USB and opened itunes. From there i clicked on the ipod button at the top right under the search option which opened the ipod contents. Click on Apps and you can remove magazines from here. Hope this helps!

  • 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 songs from my iPhone?

    When I downloaded 7.0.3 I can no longer delete unwanted songs from my iPhone. I have synced it over and over with "only checked songs". No avail. Any help out there?

    These are the downsides of a shared library because if you delete the song from your library it will get also automatically  deleted from your kids library. If you want to proceed then please follow this guide: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915

  • 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.

  • How do i remove an app from my iPad?

    How do I remove unwanted apps from my iPad?

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

    How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
    I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
    So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

    Hi Andy ..
    no longer have or use
    If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
    For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.
