So you’ve downloaded, perhaps even purchased, some of the new iPhone/iPod Touch apps from the App Store. Then you discovered you don’t really want or need that app. This tutorial will guide you in deleting it from your iPhone or iPod Touch.
- On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
- Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
- Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, select Delete.
- And now it’s gone.
- If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.
- NOTE: you can also re-order/move the apps on your iPod Touch or iPhone using a very similar process.

I had a problem tapping and holding in order to get the x but once I got the app to wiggle I had no problem. Thanks a lot!
This is not working for me I am holding for a minute and it’s not wiggling please hel
This is cool! Thanks!
But is it possible to delete the apps that come with the iPhone, for instance I can do without the “Stocks” app, but when I follow this advice (excellent, thank you) I’m not given the option to delete that. Suggestions? Thanks
