Removing apps from Windows 8

I am using Power shell to remove the modren apps from all users on Windows 8. Can I just run the following Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online or do I need to run Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers before I run the
other script? Is the text case sensitive?

Hi,
Regards this issue,you need to understand these commands.
The Get-AppxProvisionedPackage cmdlet gets information about app packages (.appx) in an image that are set to install for each new user.
The Get-AppxPackage cmdlet gets a list of the app packages (.appx) that are installed in a user profile.
The Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage cmdlet removes app packages (.appx) from a Windows image. App packages will not be installed when new user accounts are created. Packages will not be removed from existing user accounts.
The Remove-AppxPackage cmdlet removes an app package (.appx) from a user account.
We need to use Get-AppXPackage -AllUser command to get the package information fist.
Also,we can use the script as Yannick Plavonil mentioned to remove Built-in Applications from Windows 8.

How can I remove apps from my iPad

How can I remove apps from my iPad? It does not have the little "x" option on the iPad like the iPhones.

It works just the same as an iPhone. A long hold on an icon will cause them all to start wobbling, drag to move around or tap the X to remove.You can't remove any of the built-in apps so these won't get an X to tap.

How can I remove apps from my iPhone 5 home page?

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.

Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock

OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
Anyone have an idea??

Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...

Removing apps from devices in itunes

Hi all, first time and hopefully last time blogger but if IT’S BROKEN I’ll be back. I have 3 IOS devices (iphone 5, ipads 2 & 3) all have been updated to the
latest IOS software. These devices are synced with a PC which has the latest itunes software. I can’t remove any apps through itunes for any of the devices
(e.g. sync with itunes then highlight the apps in the app screen but it won’t change to “will remove”).
Does anyone know why apple breaks (it’s broken) these interfacing software issues. Why change things to be difficult , aren’t these software
updates meant to be improvements not hassles

Until a couple of days ago, I had never seen this in iTunes. This is not exactly what you are talking about but it is somewhat related. I found this to be very odd. The long and short of it is that I could delete apps from my iTunes library, then sync my iPad with iTunes - and even though the apps were no longer in the apps list when the iPad was connected to my Mac, with iTunes running and with the iPad selected under devices - they were not removed when I synced.
Take a look.

Removing Apps From iPhone App Store

I have been searching all over but I can't find a post on how to remove apps from the iPhone App Store purchased list. I have been able to do it in the past by swiping the app in the purchase list and selecting hide but it appears this function is disabled... Does anyone have any clue on how to do this now. Thank you

Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
Now this doesnt work.
The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
This doesnt work either.
I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
Im running:
Macbook Air 2012
OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

Help reordering or removing apps from list

How can you reorder or remove apps from the list of apps you get to if you swipe to the left of The Hub? I can remove the apps from displaying messages in The Hub, but cannot reorder or removed(hide) them from the list ? It is hard to keep prying eyes from private emails, texts, bbms, with these quick links as is.

You cannot "hide" apps that appear in the Hub, but you can eliminate the from being displayed in the Hub (and put them back later).
Open the Hub with the swipe right, then select the three dots in the lower righthand corner. Choose Settings > Hub Management and turn off whatever you don't want to see displayed in the Hub. Just turn 'em back on later when you feel like it.
It won't stop prying eyes from simply opening BBM or Test Messages, but at least they won't be on display in the Hub when you're trying to demo the device.

Hey ktillis88,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may be helpful:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"Backups for appname cannot be turned off at this time."
This message occurs if disabling Backup for an app on your iOS device does not complete successfully. Wait a few minutes and then attempt to disable Backup for the app again. If you continue to receive this alert, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
Thanks,

How can I permanently remove apps from my ipad, iphone and ipod (which are in icloud)?

How can I permanently remove apps from my iphone, ipad, ipod operating in the iCloud?

Apps don't operate in the cloud - they're either downloaded to your device, or they're in your Purchased list. You can't permanently remove the history of apps you've purchased, but you can hide them. See this link:

How do i prevent removed apps from syncing when connecting to iTunes

I've "removed" apps from my iPad to free up space but when I connect to my computer, the apps "appear" to still sync.
To the upper right of the screen, it will show there are 65 apps (I removed 20 apps). These are active apps and that is correct When I click on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (the Apps section), it shows there are 85 apps taking up space on my iPad.
Also, where the apps are listed, the apps that were "removed" from my iPad air have an option to "Install". I don't understand why they're still syncing. TIA for your help!

This does not help but it does offer some insight. I have NEVER noticed this before. Take a look at the dialog box in the is screenshot. Note that it says that even if the app is deleted from the iTunes library, it will not be removed for any iOS devices when you sync.
As an experiment, I deleted the AOL On app from my iTunes library and followed the prompts to put the app in the trash - not keep it in the mobile sync folder. I synced my iPad - and the app is still on the device even though it does NOT appear in my list of apps in iTunes when the iPad is connected and selected. I have never seen that happen before.
If the app is not in your library, I always assumed that it would be erased when you sync since it is no longer in iTunes. I deleted the app in iTunes and then deleted it on the iPad and then synced again and now it is gone everywhere.
Bizarre....
