You cannot delete them:
there are some core apps belonging to the iOS system and cannot be deleted like 'clock', 'calendar', 'contacts', 'facebook' etc.
- however you may create a folder (unwanted apps) and put them there, then they are at least out of sight and use less desktop space.....
1) Airdrop
2) Apple Store
3) calendar
4) camera
5) clock
6) contacts
7) facebook
8) game center
9) iBooks
10) iTunes
11) mail
12) maps
13) messages
14) music
15) newsstand
16) notes
17) photo booth
18) photos
19) reminders

SOURCE: i have a polaroid android tablet. it one day just started to not work anymore.

Just a thought, however, it might be that it automatically upgraded your Android operating system and now the apps are not compatible. Try deleting one of the apps and re-installing it. Hope this helps you - Learning Thermostat

This means the internal memory is full and the only way to add apps is to uninstall other apps that you have installed. Check to see if you have apps you no longer use and uninstall them.

How do I remove apps from my tablet

Push your finger down on the "unwanted" app, and hold it down, until the app "wiggles". Then, you can choose to delete it.

How do I obtain more storage in my Apple IPad?

Hi Anonymous,
This might help you, just follow these:
1. Go to your iPad's home screen by clicking on the home button. Click on Settings to access your settings.
2. Go to General in Settings and click on Usage. This will allow you to manage your storage, as you'll see a list of what's stored on your iPad. Look at how much storage you have available. This will inform you how much you need to get rid of, but not too much because you still have plenty of space.
3. Click on Manage Storage to start managing your storage. See what apps you have and how much space they take up. If any apps take up a lot of space, and you don't need them any more, you know you need to delete them.

4. Delete unwanted apps. To delete an app: •Tap on the relevant app in the list. You will see the button Delete App. You will also see the app's size and its Documents and Data usage (including data cached for quick access).
•Tap on the Delete App button, and the app will be deleted. •Note that the apps that come pre-installed (such as the Music and Videos apps) cannot be deleted.
•Take care not to delete any apps you need, especially for work. Instead, make room for them by determining which apps you no longer use or want (such as games, PDFs or other items you've finished with).

Remove baidu from iPad

Have you installed a Baidu app on your iPad and wanna remove it?

Well, the first method recommended for you is to directly delete apps from Home screen on your iPad.
1. You only need to keep touching the icon of the app until it wiggles with an X at the upper left corner.
2. Then tap the X and choose "Delete" in the pop-up dialog. You will get the apps deleted with no efforts.

Sometimes you cannot see the X and don't know how to delete apps on iPad directly, you can check the Settings at this moment. Then you can try to delete the apps on your iPad again.
1. Check the "Settings", then scroll down a bit and tap on the "General" option.
2. Tap on "Usage" (older version of iOS) or tap on the "Storage & iCloud Usage" (newer version of iOS).
3. You need to tap on "Manage Storage" and you'll see a list of all app installed on your iPad. Simply select the app and tap on "Delete" to delete that app.

There are also some other methods to help you remove unwanted apps from your iOS device. Click the following link to know more.
