Usually the only apps you can not delete are the ones that are part of the apple suite of apps such as camera, calendar, facetime, itunes, notes, safari etc. if it one of these one of these you will not be able to delete it.

SOURCE: Want to delete apps on ipad

On the app you want to delete hold it down until the apps starts shaking and a cross will appear in the apps you can delete. Click on the cross and it will say delete "name of app", then select the delete button. Once you have done this, press the home button to go back to normal. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: game apps are stuck in download mode. How can I delete them? When they shake there is no x in the corner to delete them.

Depending on your iOS version, you will/will not have the option to delete it. Just let it finish downloading and then remove it. If it is not downloading, try restarting your device. Alternately, you could try a computer sync and see if it changes anything.

Testimonial: "Thanks! I turned off the device and they disappeared."

Husband updated his Nascar app on his Apple Ipad this morning and now the nascar app will not open? Any ideas? He has powered ipad off/on and that did not help.

Uninstall the NASCAR app then reinstall it.

To uninstall it, press and hold on the app until it (along with others) starts to jiggle. Press the x that appears in the app's corner.
The app should disappear.
Press the Home button to stop the delete process ...
stop the other app icons from jiggling.
Goto the App Store, search for the app's icon, then download and install it.

How do I delete an app?

Find the icon for the app you want to delete, and press and hold it for a few seconds. It (and all the other icons on the screen) will start to wobble gently, and a small cross will appear in a grey circle by each. Tap the cross, then confirm you want to delete the app.

How do I delete an app from my ipad when it does not show the x

The App that you are wanting to get rid of is more than likely a built in App. All Apple iOS devices ie iPhone, iPod, iPad, iWatch come with pre-installed Apps, these apps unfortunately cannot be deleted, Apple does not provide any options with these built in apps to hide, remove or otherwise. ALL NON Apple Apps will always be able to be deleted, like you have mentioned by a wobbly widget and an "x" in the top left corner. Hope this information was helpful, if so please click the link below.

Uninstall messenger

If you are talking about facebook messenger you just need to hold down your finger on top of the icon, wait for it to shake and a little 'x' button to appear on the app icon, then click the 'x' button. If you are speaking of the Messages app for the iPad, I'm sorry but that can never be deleted. Hope this helped!
