Removing apps from my iPad and from my Apple store app.

Removing apps from my iPad and from my Apple store app. None of these application have deleted these old apps that are taking up my iPad memory. Why can’t Apple allow me to do that? Someone please come on the net with a solution. I’m with Schof…none of these work.

Some pre-installed Apps cannot be deleted from your iPad. Other Apps can be deleted as required:

Assuming that your iPad is not centrally managed by an Educational Establishment or Business (as the device may be remotely managed) - if you are experiencing difficulties with adding, updating or removing Apps from your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:


  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases - set to Allow

My gen 6 iPad does not give a deleting button for old subscriptions that I want to delete. The only option is hide, share or unhide. I need them deleted. What can be done. I’ve tried speaking to your staff on chat and each time I’m forwarded to the special inquiry team and then they disconnect me. What kind of service is this? Also no one has been able to answer any of these questions. Why don’t you have a level 2 or higher tier to help us users? I know you have a GESA team that should be able to help. This is my 7th attempt to fix this. Please help!
