How to delete an app from the iPhone 5s registry?

I have an app which was from a third party vendor. I have deleted the app from the phone. However, when I reset the phone the icon reappears. When I press the icon it does nothing. I can remove it by deleting the icon. I want to permanently delete the icon. A friend of mine said I may have to go into the registry of the phone to do that. What is the best way to accomplish getting rid of the icon permanently?

Thanks for the suggestion. Please allow me to provide a little more detail...
This started with an iPhone 4s and jail broken. Back up was performed to transfer info to new iphone 5s and this came along with it... I had same problem on old iphone. I am looking for solution to remove it permanently.
Any other thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Right there is your problem.  Per the term of use of this forum you can't get any help for a jailbroken phone.
YOu will have to look elsewhere.

  • How do I delete uninstalled Apps from the iPhone app list that is shown inside iTunes on my PC after sychronizaton?

    To clarify and to not receive the answers of those who doesn't read more than 2 lines of a post: I am not asking how can I delete backups to free space in iCloud nor how to hide the purchase history!!! those things I already know...
    to be clearer please let me explain what I mean by "list inside the iTunes of my PC". To access the list to which I am reffering you must take this steps:
    1) Connect the iPhone to the PC. This should open iTunes if not already opened and activate the synchronization between iPhone and PC.
    2) After syncronization and eventual backup in the iTunes window on the top right side it appears the tab "iPhone".
    3) Click said tab "iPhone" to see its content. In the top bar you can see 9 tabs: "Summary", "Info", "Apps", "Music", "Movies", "TV Shows", "Books", "Photos" and "On This iPhone".
    4) Click the 3rd tab, the one named "Apps", in this window on the left side you have the full list of the apps and on the right side you can see how these apps are arranged inside the device (inside home screens and folders).
    I am referring to this particular list, the one on the left side of this page. See, I ricently run out of space in my iCloud so I decided tidy things up. I deleted all of the old backups both form iCloud and from PC and I hid all of the Apps that I no longer use from my purchase history.
    now, the point is, every time I go to this particular list I can still find all of the apps, even those uninstalled from the device and removed from the purchase history...
    In this list the apps that are still installed on my divece have got the "remove" button at its side and those which are not have got the "install" button... my point is that I went to great lengths to clean everything and still I can't seem to find a way to remove unwanted apps from this particular list...
    I do suspect that it is because I have to restore some registry inside the iPhone itself... The point is that I don't want these apps to appear on this list anymore but I don't know how to clear it... Any help? Have I been clear?
    thanks

    That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
    If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
    C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
    In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files).  You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
    One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it.  So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

    At the present time, you can't hide or delete an app from your purchased list on your phone.  Prior to iOS 6 you could hide it; there has never been an option to delete it.

    Tap and hold an app until they all start to wiggle, then tap the black "x" on the apps you want to delete from your phone, or drag them to the edge of the screen if you want to move them to another screen rather than deleting them.  Finish by tapping the home button.

    How do I delete an app from my iphone 5?

    For non-Apple (preinstalled) apps, tap the icon and keep finger on it until icons wiggle.  Then tap the small "x" next to an icon to delete it.
    You can't delete Apple's apps (contacts, game center, etc.).  But you can move them to the last page or put then in a "junk" folder.

  • I cannot delete some apps from my Iphone.

    I cannot delete certain apps from my Iphone. (Not System Apps) They are blacked out, if I press and hold the app the option is there to delete it however it does not delete. After pressing the X it says "deleting xxxx will also delete all of its data"  I click delete, but nothing happens. I verified that i do not have any restrictions. Any suggestions?

    Hi andyhany,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the apps may not have downloaded to your iPhone completely. I recommend trying the solution from this discussion thread first:
         App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.
         https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • How do i move apps from my iPhone 3GS to my new 4S?

    how do i move apps from my iPhone 3GS to my new 4S?

    To backup your phone (3GS), plug it to your PC, when Itunes opens up, you will see your phone on the left hand side, right click on it and do a back up. 
    When you set up your 4S it will ask if you want to restore as new/ from a backup from Itunes or icloud.   Select restore from back up then plug your phone to your PC and then let Itunes back up your phone.

    Hi, I'm living in the US for a while but I just have french credit cards, how can I buy App from the App Store US??

    You need a payment method associated with the country you are in.  I would purchases an iTunes Gift card in the USA and use that as your payment method and then delete the card from the account.  You may also have the change the addess in your iTunes aaccount t a USA account.

  • I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers?

    I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers? My mac seems to be running a bit off.

    To delete any type of app you need to open the Finder window and highlight the app you want to delete by moving it to the trash. Empty the trash and it's gone. There are some Apple provided apps that cannot be deleted but you should not have any issue with the games.
    As for cleaners, I personally don't use them but the 911 and Mackeeper are very popular and I hear work pretty well with Macs.

  • CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO DELETE AN APP FROM MY LG REVOLUTION?

    CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DELETE AN APP FROM MY LG REVOLUTION?

    That is going to depend on where the application is stored...
    If it's Bloatware (e.g. Verizon Navigator, Bing, etc...) you will need Root permission on your phone to remove it.
    If it's something you installed from the Google Play Store, then all you will need to do is open the Play store, select the Menu button, select "My Apps" and then open the app.  This should give you the "Uninstall" button.
    Hope this helps
