Hold down any app for a couple of seconds and then they will all start to 'wiggle'. The ones you can delete will have an x in the top corner. Tap the x and you will be asked to confirm it. You can also drag the wiggling icons to rearrange them if you like. Press the home button (the one at the bottom of the screen) when your done...
Thank you for all help. I apologize as i had forgotten to mention that i had rebooted my phone numerous times. The only difference after rebooting was the "waiting" apps were placed at the "end" of the apps on that page..still in "waiting" mode. After being on wi fi for way longer than needed to complete download, the app never gets halfway downloaded..and thats after literally hours of trying. Thank you again
