Delete app completely

I want to remove an app, all traces not just on Home Screen. Any info, please?

You can fully remove most apps (with the exception of some Apple apps which cannot be removed) from your device. But even a deleted app will show in your purchase history and there is no way to defeat that.


To remove an app from your device, place your finger on the app and push on it a bit until you see a dialog box appear. Tap Remove App, the confirm.
