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.

how to delete a friend off facebook
can someone tell me how to delte a frined off facebook on my iphone thanks
Thanks! Easy to follow!! Big help.
I need to delete applications that I installed from cedya, no X appear on the icon. What should I do to delete them??
I have a daughter who is constantly on MSN and or Facebook…and I have threatened to ‘remove’ these Apps from her iPOD touch. How do I do that? She’s too young to have this much access 24/7 to the internet. I need to be able to control her usage without taking away the unit from her. Alternatively, I would like to set a unique ‘password’ on her iPOD touch as a security field to these types of Apps. Is that possible to do?
Okay so to “worried mother” you can set restrictions but only by turning of app usage completely….unless the iPod or iPhone is jailbroken…(hacked) where you can install an app called Lockdown. And to just delete the app altogether….hold down on it till it wiggles….then press the “x” in the top right corner of the app.

if you want to get rid of an app that came with your iphone
your phone need to be jail broken (search on that, i’m just going to expain how to remove the unwanted icons forever)
ok please be aware that you won’t get then back unless you save them in your pc
ok
1. first you need a program to get into your phone (I always use WinSPC) this
one is for windows users, there is more for windows and for Mac users as well please read on how to use this program
2. you are going to need openssh from cydia, please install it
3. Now go into your phone using WinSPC and go back all the way to the root
and the first folder is called applications scroll down until you find the
folder you are looking for and delete it (I deleted Stocks)
4. Next terminate session with WinSPC and make sure the application you
deleted is not working anymore
5. turn off your phone holding down the top button
6. turn your phone on the same way it was turned off the application should
be gone
