HT201656 how do I get rid of stored app data in iOS 8?

Hi, does anyone know if there's any way to reset the app data in iOS 8? Some of my apps store ridiculous amounts of data (like rss reader with 900 mb of god knows what!) and I have no idea how to get rid of it. Reboot doesn't help. Thanks in advance.

OMG. Is it like the only way? I mean there should be a normal one... but thank you anyway

You will Not be able to get rid of it entirely...
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

How do I get rid of an App stuck in waiting. I synced my iPad with my computer, booted my iPad, signed out and back in the store! Help!!

How do I get rid of an app stuck in waiting? I have signed in and out of ITunes store and booted my iPad. I synced my iAd with my computer. I can't use the app or delete it! Thanks!

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

How do I get rid of the annoying date that shows on my iPhoto screen?

When I open iPhoto and scrool thru my photos a date overlays part of my screen. When I scroll with arrows the date reflects the roll that is in view. When I scroll with mouse wheel the date does not change at all. How can I get rid of that overlay date?

The solution of unchecking "Show scrolling information" works, however, it did not work for me until I closed iPhoto and reopened it.

Are you SURE you need to reinstall? Often people believe this but it rarely solves anything. Does a message say you must?

How do I get rid of an app that has an automatic weekly charge

How do I get rid of an app that that I don't want that I'm being charged for automatically each week?

There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If you also want delete the app from your iPad (you will also need to stop the subscription, just deleting an app won't do that) : 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 then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

How do I get rid of an apps in iPad that does not have an x on top left corner as it is blinking?

It is known as newsstand and is a part of iOS.
It is per installed and cannot be removed. Just ignore it as it does not take a lot of memory. It is just a folder.

My iTunes music folder is almost 1.5x the size on disc as my iTunes library. How can I get rid of this extra data?

When I look at the iTunes music folder in Windows Explorer, it shows as 28.0 GB. In the iTunes library, it says my music is 18.3 GB. I would like to get my 10 gigs back.
I've tried to add the media folder to my library - it just duplicated maybe 10 songs, didn't add any new ones. This suggests that there isn't any extra music in the folder. So why is it 10 GB larger? How can I get rid of the extra non-music data?

Apparently there are some mp3 files that aren't adding despite importing the folder...
That is actually a very common problem, due to iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program, such as MP3 Validator.
i don't know how much of the missing 9.7 GB this will apply to, but definitely worth a try.

How do I get rid of the massive date in Notification centre

Hi.
Have just updated to Yosemite, which so far has been nothing but utter pain.
Latest issue is that the notification centre now includes an ENORMOUS Day and Date box which takes up a quarter of the screen real estate on my Macbook Air.
It is totally useless given that I already have the day and date written quite neatly in the menu bar.
How do I get rid of this waste of space so that I can actually fit something useful in the notification centre, there doesn't seem to be a delete option for it in the edit setting.
Whoever wrote the apple webpage saying Yosemite had been beautifully redesigned needs their head examining, or preferably shooting.
Many thanks.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I am aware of the Notifications Control Panel and its total lack of any option to turn off the massive day and date so perhaps I should alter my question to WHY is there no option to get rid of the enormous waste of space Day and Date box.
Probably the same reason why there is no option to say this answer did not solve my problem or help me.
I wish I could go back to Snow Leopard - but even just the CBeebies website for my daughter no longer works on it and we are forced to upgrade and turn more and more into a grumpy old man.

How do I get rid of an app that won't quit? scanner problem

I ust tried to install a driver for my POS epson Perfection 1260. the app doesn't work with 10.4.8 and when i tried to delete their 'epson scan monitor' app I'm told it can be deleted because it's in use. I cant force quit because it doesn't show up as an option to quit. any ideas on how to get rid of the app that wont let it self be thrown away?
also any reccomendations on a sscanner that is designed and is fully functional with 10.4.8?
Thanks for the help

Hi Brian, Scanner drivers and their add ons can be problematic. I used to have HP's driver installed which played havoc with sleeping - the computers', not mine
The epson scan monitor has probably been installed into /Library/StartupItems which is why it's telling you its in use.
Try deleting it from within Safe Boot or open Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities and quit it from there before deleting it.
I can vouch for The Hatter's recommendation, VueScan. It's a wonderful little lightweight app that doesn't insinuate itself into StartupItems and mess sleeping up.
Good luck,
Adrian
