Delete unwanted APPs

**Knarf** · 01-30-2012 12:18 PM

I have purchased a number of APPs that I do not want to use. The APPs appear at "App Store", "Purchased". How can I delete these unwanted APPs from my phone? Thanks for your help.

When your in app store on your phone and have the list of purchased apps simply slide your finger across any app you don't want to see and the option to hide will appear

To totally delete them, you have to do it in iTunes.

Bring up iTunes, then go to Apps under the list on the left...do not go under your device. Then right click on the app and delete.

Now that I have deleted Plaxo from the Apps, how can I recover my screwed up Contacts? I have them in a Windows folder and also re installed them in Outlook.

I still have not been able to delete unwanted apps. On the phone, I have hidden the apps so they do not appear in purchased apps. In iTunes I have gone to "account information", "iTunes in the cloud", "view hidden purchases", "apps", and the hidden apps I want to permanently delete from the phone and iTunes appear. The only option available at this point is to unhide the apps. I can not find out how to delete them. In iTunes, when I go to "apps" in the left column, the apps in question do not appear. I did not think that all of this would be that complicated!!! Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Knarf

Hold each app down until they wiggle. Tap the X, and select delete, then confirm.

You're correct; however, the next time you go to iTunes those "deleted" apps on your phone may somehow be reinstalled on your iPhone from the iTunes apps tab! Believe it. Hate it.

Did you sync those apps from your iTunes on the computer? Are those apps in the iTunes library on said computer?
