HT4528 deleting unwanted apps

I have an iphone 4.  How do I delete messages I no longer want?

Do you mean apps or messages?? 
For messages, touch "Edit" on the upper right corer of the screen. 
For apps, press on one until it "wiggles", then touch the "x" on the corner of the icon.

  • How to Delete unwanted Apps for ever?

    Sometimes we download 'apps', which may turn out just duds or NOT as good and functional as we expect them to be. Then we decide to delete and though they are deleted from iPad ( 4th Gen) or iPhone, the same remain in the iTunes and show up at the time of synching under App section.  The "Remove " option works only for deleting an app available on the device but not from iTunes ( computer) apps section. How can we Delete unwanted Apps for ever?
    Sometimes I wonder why Steve infused so mauch control into such mundane issues as deleting undesirable stuff?It irritates to the extent sometimes I feel, whatever is said Windows based OS is much more user friendly and truly functional...

    Have you tried Control-Clicking on the offending app?
    Followed by a click on Delete?

  • How to delete unwanted apps

    How do I delete unwanted apps that I do not want anymore?  And also to where they are not even stored in iCloud?  How does one get rid of iCloud?  I think somehow I got an iCloud account that I do not even want... is there a way to get rid of that?  Thanks in advance.

    Tap and hold on the app icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "X" that appears. Note, you cannot delete the preinstalled apps.
    Apps are not stored in your iCloud account. Only you would know if you signed up for an iCloud account. If you don't want to use it, log out. Settings>iCloud.

  • Deleting unwanted apps in iTunes on iPad device

    How can I delete unwanted  apps from my iTunes? I do not have a computer to link my iPad up to.

    Hey TIFF 1982,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. If I understand your question correctly, it sounds like you basically wish to delete applications from your iPad. The following resource outlines how to do so:

  • HT4673 I delete unwanted apps with the jiggling x, but they promptly reappear the next time I open launchpad.  How do I delete in Lion?

    I delete unwanted apps with the jiggling x, but they promptly reappear the next time I open launchpad.  How do I delete in Lion?

    I'd suggest removing the unwanted items directly from your Applicaitons folder. In order to do this, you'll need to highlight the desired applicaiton, then use File -> Move to Trash (or CMD + Delete on your keyboard).
    If they're still showing up in Launchpad, or if they don't exist in the Applications folder, use the following command in Terminal to remove your existing Launchpad databases (as they may be damaged and not updating correctly) and restart Launchpad (which will create fresh databases):
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ; killall Dock

  • Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the purchase list

    Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the puchase list . too many app there

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide them via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - if your iPad is on iOS 7, then after hiding them on your computer you may need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in for them to be hidden in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it (the last time I hid an app I needed to do that).

  • I can't delete unwanted apps from my iPhone.

    When 'jiggling' apps on my iPhone no black crosses appear, thereby preventing me from deleting unwanted apps. Similarly on my Macbook Pro operating Mavericks the 'delete' button beside the listed apps is greyed out when coupled to my iPhone, preventing me from deleting apps using the Macbook.

    The apps that come with the iOS software, like Passbook or Gamecenter, will not let you delete them. If it didn't come on the phone, check restrictions like Stedman said.

    How do you delete unwanted apps on your ipod?

    tap and hold your finger on your unwanted app
    soon all the apps will begin to wiggle and will have "X"s in the top corner
    to rearrange your apps just drag them around
    but to delete one, simply click the tiny "X"
    then press the home button to make them all stop wiggiling

  • How delete unwanted app update notices on iphone

    How can I delete unwanted app update notices on iphone in "App Store"?

    As far as I know, that's only possible if you don't have the app installed anymore on the phone. Let's see if Apple changed that in iOS5. If no, you can suggest this here: Apple - iPhone - Feedback

  • How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

    how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • Apple should add the "permanently delete unwanted apps" option ?

    Hi guys,
    I think that Apple should add the permanently delete unwanted apps option to our account. We pay for them and we have a right to get rid of them, and Apple has to respect its client right. If Apple want to keep it as a record, keep it itself. Sometime, we just don't want to have any relationship with something and want it out of our life.
    If Apple does not respect us, I will stop using apple products for good.
    If you guy agree with me, vote for it and ask Apple to respect us.

    The point you make is valid ... providing you are
    1. Sure you won't want to download it again ... or
    2. In the event it was permanently deleted you wouldn't mind paying for it again if you did.
    It's no good expecting Apple to keep it as a record for themselves ... having bought it, you are the only person who has an interest (or not) in its continued availability.
    By the way, you are not supposed to conduct polls of any kind in these forums.   Part of the T & C.

  • I'm beginning to believe you cannot delete unwanted app updates.  Is that a correct assumption?

    Am I correct in assuming you cannot delete unwanted app updates?

    They should have a "More" link on each. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Ignore update from the context menu. This is all you can do.
    If you erase the software from all disks, then you should not be bothered about them at all.

  • Now that I've upgraded, how do I delete unwanted apps?

    I just upgraded to the new 5.0 OS & now can't delete apps..I've read the manual, changed restrictions, cycled the power off & then back on & nothing works...I would just like to be able to delte the unwanted/unused apps that apple includes;  was able to do so BEFORE the upgrade, but not now

    You cannot and have never been able to delete the apps that come standard on the iphone.
    You can only, and hasve always only been able to, delete apps that you have added.
