If you want to know how to remove apps from iPhone totally or simply do not want the app to appear on the menu itself, you have come to the right place. This article will focus on the detailed steps on how to remove apps from iPhone.

How to remove apps from iPhone totally – deletion of application.

Deleting an application is pretty straight forward. It can be done in 3 easy steps:

1. On the screen itself, identify the application that you would like to delete from iPhone.

2. Next, tap on the application icon and hold it there for a few seconds. You will notice that the screen will start to “wiggle” and finally an “X” sign will appear on the application icon.

3. Tap on the “X’ sign and when asked whether to proceed, select “Delete”. That’s it. It is that simple.

One thing to note, you can only remove applications that you have installed, default applications that come with iPhone cannot be deleted from the device. Also bear in mind that if the deleted application remains in iTunes, it will be transferred back to iPhone the next time you do a sync. To avoid this, either remove the application from iTunes or configure iTunes not to sync all applications but only those that you want. You can do so by accessing the Application Tab of your iPhone icon within iTunes when it is connected to your PC or laptop and change the syncing options.

If you do not want certain default iPhone applications to appear on the menu, the next section will show you how to remove application the menu without deleting them from the device.

How to remove apps from iPhone menu.

In order to see only the set of applications you want, you can use another menu page. Slide your finger across the screen to the left and you will arrive on another menu. iPhone allows you to move applications between these pages so that you can customize which ones appear on the 1st page. Just move whatever you do not use to the 2nd or 3rd pages.

Now you know how to remove apps from iPhone and also how to customize your menu. Find out how you can pack your iPhone with the latest movies, music, software and games here. Also read this review on iPhone downloads sites.

what if the app doesn't have an X ?

Is there no way to delete it? Moving it to another page seems dumb

If you are referring to Apps that are shipped with iPhone, those cannot be removed. However, if you jailbreak your phone, there are utilities to hide them. Again, if you have jailbroken your phone, the Apps you install from Cydia, etc will not have the X, they have to be removed from Cydia.

I do not recommend jailbreaking your phone though.
