IOS 8: I want to permanently delete apps such as stocks, tips, compass, passbook

iOS 8: I want to permanently delete apps such as stocks, tips, compass, passbook and Game Center from my phone. I really wish Apple would make these apps optional. Truth is I don't use them and they are just using up space on my phone. Any suggestiond anyone?

You cannot delete them. They are part of the iOS.
Cheers

They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

How can I permanently delete apps from iCloud on my child's iPad

Up front, I'd like to say that this question has nothing to do with storage space - rather, it's about deleting apps, for parenting reasons, the iCloud.
We wish to permanently remove select apps from our child's iPad. We cant seem to do this - while they are not active on the home screen, by going into itunes or the App Store, they can simply be downloaded again without our knowledge or consent.
Are there any provisions for parental controls over the iCloud?
Thanks.

By going to settings - general - restrictions - parental controls can be setup to limit the age appropriate content including apps. By hiding those apps on your computer you may be able to change their visibility as well, but I haven't had a chance to check it - try it yourself if you want.

How to permanently delete apps in iTunes?

I can't permanently delete my apps in itunes. I tried to click my iphone > Apps >
It sends me to the a list of all the apps I've purchesed, and if I'd deleted it, it says install, and if I hadn't it says remove. There is no permanent delete option. Nothing happens when I right click or press the delete key in my keyboard. I really need your help because my phone's memory is being full.

Hey there comealongpie,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I gather, your’e trying to free up some storage space on your iPhone using iTunes on your PC, and you're concerned because apps aren't being deleted from iTunes on your PC. Take a look at the article linked below which clarifies the process of syncing and organizing apps on your iOS device using iTunes.
iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
Also, take a look at this article which will walk you through the process of deleting apps from the device itself.

How do I permanently delete apps from my purchased list?

I know how to hide them but I just want to clear them permanently so that I don't have all this 'documents and data' saved from apps that I only used once and have long since deleted, can u help?

You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, hiding them is all that you can do.
You can control which apps are backed up to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage on the device - do those apps show there, and you are able to delete their content from the backup there ?

How do I permanently delete apps from my iPad?

When you delete an application, it's data is not permanently deleted. I'd like to know how you permanently delete all of the application data.

This is copied for an iPhone thread but it works the same way for an iPad.
If you really want to get rid of it: iTunes>Library>Apps...right-click the app you want to delete, select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Then, make sure you first delete the app on your phone, then sync your phone. The app and all traces of its data will be gone.
iTunes meaning launch iTunes on your computer and remove the app from your iTunes library as well.
Here is the thread.

Permanently deleting apps

Currently, when you delete an app from your iPhone, it merely gets removed the the phone, but stays in your list of available apps in iTunes.
So, currently, when you try an app on your phone and decide you dont like it, it remains in your list of downloaded apps in iTunes. The only way to permanently delete it, is to remember to go back to iTunes and manually delete it from there.
I am assuming this is accurate and there is no way in iTunes to see which apps were recently removed from the phone (thereby jogging your memory as to what apps you might want to permanently get rid of.
I wish, when deleting an App from the iPhone/iPad, you were given the choice of "remove from iPhone/iPad" and "permanently delete." I've got way too many unwanted apps cluttering up iTunes...

You're right. Thanks for the hint.
I thought the new Mountain Lion has added this function, because I don't have to sign in again with my Apple ID to see my purchases and the hide/unhide button was missing. My bad.
In SL and Lion days, I have to sign in even though my Apple ID was visible (top right) to see the purchase and the hide/unhide button was available. Now that they've relax the Apple ID sign in and so my mistake.

Permanently delete apps, not just hide

http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
I share my account with my minor children, which allows me to see what they get into. I have a child that found **** apps. I want them COMPLETELY, PERMANENTLY forever gone from my devices, and cloud. I do NOT want to just hide them, which allows them to be easily accessed again. How do I get this done? I have found nothing that works, only ways that hide them. It seems like Apple ought to provide a way to get rid of the **** forever if we don't want it. Otherwise, I will have to get rid the Apple products because my kids' safety is much more important. Thanks for your help!

You can't "delete" them from iCloud because they are not being stored in your iCloud storage space. All you can do is hide them. What you're seeing is purchase history.
Delete them from your devices and use restrictions on the devices your children use to prevent them from installing ANY apps. If they want to install new apps, they will have to come to you and you'll have to do it for them.

Ios 8.3 recovered my "permanently" deleted photos

I just updated to ios 8.3 and my camera roll is full of old photos which I had permanently deleted. In addition, the "recently deleted" folder was full of photos (with the timer set to delete permanently in 30 days) but which I had previously already "permanently" deleted, or so I thought. I don't use the icloud photo library, and they aren't in any photostreams. They should have been permanently deleted. This is a privacy concern. Where were these photos being stored? If I delete them again now, will they still be stored somewhere?

There was a bug in several versions prior to 8.3 that resulted in deleted photos only being removed from the list, but not removed from the phone's memory. This was fixed, so now those photos show up so you can really delete them.

HT1977 How do I permanently Delete Apps on I-Pad 4 retina display

How do I PERMANENTLY /delete/remove Apps I have purchased or trialed (subscription NOT purchased at end of trial period) or downloaded in error on my I-Pad 4 retina display.

To remove applications from your device, hold down the thumbnail/icon on your home page- until the icon begins to shake. Tap on the "X" to delete it (It will still be in your purchase history, but uninstalled from your device). If it is a subscription, you can manage these by following this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4098

HT2905 how do I permanently delete app from my Ipad 2?

I would like to know if it's possible to permanently delete unwanted apps and moves off my Ipad2? I have tried my when I reset my Ipad, they are still there! HELP

Yes you can permanently delete them from the iPad, but if you sync with iTunes and the apps and movies are still in iTunes, you have to delete them in there as well or they will transfer back to the iPad once you sync again.
Forgive the title of the website.

If this isn't working for you, explain what you are doing and what "reset my iPad" means in this regard.
