Delete Apps, Quick & Easy

Deleting apps on your iPad is as easy as 1-2-3.  Here are the simple steps, along with screen shots.

 

 

1. From your home screen (or within an app folder as shown here) tap and hold on any icon, letting go when the icons start to "wiggle".

2. Notice your "wiggling icons" now have an X in the upper left-hand corner. By tapping on the X of any app icon you can delete that app. Don't want to delete anything at this point? Tap the Home button to stop the wiggling and return to normal.

 

 

3. Here I have tapped on the X of the Izik app to remove it. You have a chance to change your mind at this point by tapping "Cancel". Tap the "Delete" button to remove the app and all its data.

Need to remove a few more apps? You can continue to tap additional app X buttons to remove other apps. When you're done, tap the Home button to stop delete mode and go back to normal.

 

Oops, I didn't mean to delete that app!

What if you delete an app by mistake, especially one you have paid $ for?No problem – once you buy an app from the App Store, it's yours forever even if you delete it. To restore the app, simply return to the App Store and download it again, and even if it's a fee app, it will be downloaded to your iPad without charge.
