Method 3. Delete iPhone and iPad apps from the device settings

Another way to delete apps on iOS devices is from the Settings app. In iOS 11, tap Settings> General> iPhone Storage . You will see a list of applications at the bottom of the screen, which can take a few minutes to load all applications. This list is useful because it shows the storage capacity of each application. In addition, this list may have app files and attached data. If you need to release a certain amount of space, this is a great place to delete the application.

This setting will remove unused applications when memory is needed. Document and data related to the application will be saved and the application can be reinstalled as needed. You can also access this setting in iOS 11 via Settings> iTunes & App Stores .

Method 4: Delete iPhone and iPad apps from iTunes on Mac

This is for those who haven't upgraded to iTunes 12.7 on a Mac. With iTunes 12.7, Apple removed the iOS App Store and managed the iOS app.

For iTunes 12.7, when deleting the app from an iOS device, iTunes will not copy the application's data to the device so you can synchronize it later. Therefore, the above methods are great if you want to remove the application from a specific device but still keep their information in the iTunes library.

On the other hand, if you want to completely remove the application (application and its related data), go to iTunes and select the Apps library. Select an application, then press the Delete key, the dialog box appears asking for confirmation. You can remove applications from the iTunes library, but keep them in a folder on your Mac in case something goes wrong.

If you don't see the Purchase Date title, click the View menu and select Show View Options , then in the pop-up window look in the Stats section and select the Purchase Date box. Alternatively, you can right-click a blank title in the iTunes list and select Purchase Date in the pop-up menu. (Purchase Date is also the date of the latest application or update date). See which apps have the longest buying date to decide to delete or keep it.

Method 5: Delete the application when updating via iTunes on a Mac

Another way to remove applications from the iTunes library is through updating the app with iTunes on a Mac. In the iTunes update, you will see a list of new versions of the downloadable application. When you see an application in the Update window that you no longer use, delete it. To do this, right-click the application icon and select Delete from the Library. This will remove the application from the iTunes library and will also delete the update notification. The next time you synchronize your iOS device deleted from the iTunes library will be deleted from the device.

Wishing the successful implementation!
