Launch Dashboard. Click on the "+" sign in he lower left corner.
Click on the little "X" that appears at the top-left of the widget you want to remove. Click on the big "X" now in the lower left corner of the screen to close the widget editor.

How do I mange the apps that are on my cloud and not on my device. Second how do you delete things off my cloud that are old and taking up space

How do I manage my storage on my cloud. For example getting rid of old apps that are no longer on my device but still in the cloud

Hi Bryan,
The only thing in iCloud are the backups that you have done for your device. Three backups are usually saved, with the oldest one deleted when you do the next one.
You may be getting iCloud confused with iTunes in the Cloud. All of your iTunes and App Store purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud so that you can re-download them at a later time if you wish. This is not iCloud and has no effect on your iCloud storage.
However, if you wish to manage what is backed up to iCloud, you can go to Settings>General>Usage and under the iCloud section click on Manage Storage. This will take you to a screen that shows what devices are backing up to iCloud and what settings you have turned on. If you click on a device, it will take you to a detailed screen that has a list of Apps and data that you are backing up. You can selectively turn them off or on. You can also delete older backups if you wish.
Cheers,
GB

How do you delete programs off a mac?

I just got a Macbook over the summer, and I have downloaded some programs that I now want to remove permanently. How would I do that? I have been a PC user for so long, it's been hard to figure out. Thanks!

Just to build on what Martin said... It's really just the opposite of the Windows world. In the Windows world, you're told to always uninstall (not just delete the folder for the program) because when you install something in Windows it writes data all over the place. What you see as an application in OS X is actually a package... all the files you need for that application are in that package... you just don't ever see them. So, when you delete what just looks like a program icon, it's really getting rid of all the files associated with the program. As Martin mentioned, there are usually some preferences created when you install an application. These are just tiny text files, but in the interest of keeping things tidy, as mentioned, just use Spotlight to search for any lingering preference files. Just be sure the files are for the program you are deleting. You should also note that Spotlight will also show you programs that are in your trash. So, once you delete them, you will still see them... only they will now show up as being in your trash. Once you empty your trash, they'll be completely gone. You should be fine with just deleting the application icon for most programs... but some programs do come with un-installers (often relaunching the installer that you used to install the program will bring up an un-installer). Basically, if you just dragged the program to your applications folder to install it... just dragging it to the trash will get rid of it. If you actually got an installer come up when you installed the program, there is probably an uninstaller. There is no Add/Remove Programs in OS X like you have in Windows.

How do you delete things on an ipod from your computer?

I forgot my ipod passcode and I need to find a way to delete everything off of my computer.

As I said in my first reply you may not be able to make a backup and you may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. Do the following:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

i just got a nano and i was wondering if youo are over your limit for video do you just download something else and it edges something out or do you have to delete other vids from your ipod and how do you do that? thanks!

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically (syncing) then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will deleted automatically from your iPod. In the iTunes Library highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the usual song list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly as above by pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

How do I delete things off my homepage?

This is driving me insane! I really want to delete the Stocks application, and I would like to delete some of the internet page bookmarks I accidentally put onto my homepage. How? When it is synced in iTunes, I've tried dragging the icons to the Trash, but they just show up again. Please help!

Although you can't delete Apple supplied apps, you can move them to another page.
Touch any icon until an X appears in the top left corner of all the deleteable apps, and all the apps wiggle.
You can now delete the ones with an X or drag the Apple apps to another screen.
Pressing the Home button when you are finished will put the phone back into normal mode.

HT4847 How do I delete things from my iCloud?

Hello, everyone! I need some help, okay so, my iPhone has been acting up lately, I am no longer receiving iMessages, it says it cannot connect to iTunes and YouTube, and I no longer receive push notifications from any of my apps. i figured it is because i need to update the iOS5 for my phone, but I'm not sure. To update the iOS5, i need to backup my phone, which i can't do because my iCloud is full, i was wondering how do you delete things from the iCloud? I have already went through and deleted a great number of pictures from my phone and also apps that i was no longer using. I don't want to lose anything from my phone, but i'm not sure if my iCloud has everything backed-up? Also, could that be the reason to why my phone has been acting up? or could something else be wrong? PLEASE HELP!

General advice on "slimming" down your device's storage:
You'd have to go into the various apps on a device that is also stored on iCloud and begin trimming files.
Backups:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud. Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data. Then delete the backup. That will free up space. Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn
Emails:
Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device. That can also save a lot of space.
