AT App Store there are a lot of applications. There are so many of them that any user of an iOS device simply has their eyes wide open. I would like to try both that program and this one. And so you download and install one first mobile app, then another, etc. But all this one day leads to clutter iPhone memory- the device starts to freeze and work unstably. The fact is that you need to get rid of unnecessary software. Ask how? Now we will tell you how to remove unnecessary applications from an apple smartphone.

You can easily and quickly uninstall programs through the built-in Settings app. This method works on all popular iPhone models- 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, SE, X, etc. What does the user need to do? Just a couple of simple manipulations:

1. We go to "Settings".
2. Select the "Basic" section, then tap on the "Statistics" item.
3. You will see a list of applications. At the top will be the most "heavy" programs that take up the most space in the iPhone's memory. Usually it is Instagram, VK and various instant messengers.
4. Scroll and select the application to delete. If the list of programs is too large, then click "Show all programs". Along the way, pay attention to the information on the right, where you can see the weight of the application.
5. We tap on the program that needs to be “demolished” from the iPhone.
6. In the next window, click on the "Uninstall a program" button and confirm the action.

That's all! You were able to remove iPhone application that you don't want to use. But this is far from the only way to get rid of unnecessary software.

Method number 2

To uninstall the application, it is not necessary to enter the settings menu. You can do everything on the desktop of your smartphone. Here is a short guide:

1. We take a smartphone in hand. We remove the lock.
2. We find on the desktop the icon of the program that needs to be deleted.
3. Keep your finger on it. Just a couple of seconds will be enough.
4. All shortcuts on the screen should tremble. Crosses will also appear in their corners of the icons.
5. After that, just click on the cross of the icon of the program that we will get rid of.
6. In the pop-up window, tap on the "Delete" option.
7. If the icons of other applications continue to tremble, then simply press the "Home" button.

Please note that after the described actions, the program will be completely removed. That is, it will immediately disappear not only from the desktop, but also from the memory of the iPhone.

For reference! By the way, the described method on a device with iOS version 10 (and above you) can erase not only self-installed, but also pre-installed standard applications, freeing up space in the storage of the iPhone.

Method number 3

You can also delete applications from the iPhone (and from the iPad) when iTunes help. Although it is not the most convenient and fast way. Most of all, this option is suitable for those who often synchronize their smartphone with a PC.

1. We connect the gadget to a computer or laptop via a USB cable or Wi-Fi.
2. We launch iTunes.
3. Select the device in the sidebar on the left.
4. On the control screen, click on the "Programs" tab.
5. Find in the list unnecessary program and click "Delete".
6. Or we are looking for an application in the "Home Screens" section, then double-click the left mouse button and click on the "cross" next to the program icon.
7. Finally, don't forget to click Apply. As a result, after synchronization, the program will be deleted from the iPhone.

Useful information! It is not recommended to clean open applications without unnecessary need. Otherwise, you will have to spend a large iPhone battery to restart them. Therefore, resort to this procedure when work with the program will not be resumed.

Applications are not deleted: what is the reason and what to do?

What if the application is not removed? Why did this happen? Most likely the reason is system error. First of all, try to demolish the program different ways. Did not help? Then restart your gadget and try again. Should help.

If the problem is that when you press it for a long time, the icons tremble, but the crosses next to them do not appear, then the settings prohibit deletion. You can remove it like this:

1. Go to "Settings"
2. Then open the "General" section and tap on the "Restrictions" item.
3. Enter the security password (note that there are only 2 attempts).
4. Activate the toggle switch opposite "Uninstall programs".
5. Uninstall the app in the usual way.

For reference! There is also such an incident - a user accidentally deletes a paid application. Now he needs to re-download and install it. At the same time, a logical question arises in a person: “Is it really necessary to pay for it again?”. No. For reloading remote application money is not written off.

Is it possible to erase the data of the applications themselves on the iPhone?

Finally, I would like to touch on one more important point. The fact is that many iOS users ask - are application data and history deleted? The same progress in games? The answer is no. Applications from the AppStore are linked to the account. So if you want to start the game again or completely delete all data from some application, then:

1. Create a new account.
2. Delete information via iCloud. This is done as follows: go to the settings, then - "iCloud" / "Storage and copies" / "Storage" and switch the slider opposite the application name. It is after deleting data from the cloud that you can be 100% sure that all progress in the game or the history of using the program has been erased.

By their principle of operation, almost all are the same. They download files and sync them with other clients connected to them. But accidents still happen and the wrong files are deleted. Luckily, deleted files not always irretrievably lost.

Today, cloud services provide opportunities that you did not even dream of a few years ago. For example, if you need to free up space on your local media, you can upload data to cloud folders. You can also place photos in the cloud, and they will be synchronized and available on different devices.

However, today we will talk about how to restore or permanently delete files from the cloud.

Today there are many cloud services. But the three most famous for the end user are: Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Let's talk about them.

File recovery in Dropbox

Dropbox handles deleted files differently than Google and Microsoft. Dropbox doesn't have a Trash. Instead, the files are deleted but not relocated.

To be more precise, the files simply become hidden. And if you need to restore or permanently delete a file, you need to go to the folder from which the file was deleted and make it visible.

In order to do this, you need to click on the small basket icon in the right upper corner. This is the "recover deleted files" button.

As an option. You can also right-click and select "display deleted files" from the pop-up menu.

In both cases, the deleted files will appear shaded. And if you right-click on one of them again, you can see further options.

If you need to restore the file, Dropbox will present you with a dialog box. If you are interested in something else, you can choose the desired option.

You can store your files in Dropbox for free for 30 days. The extended version of the program provides the opportunity to use the service for one year.

You may never have to realize the advantage of using the extended version of the program. But in those rare cases when you need to restore previous version file that you have overwritten or deleted, this service will help you out.

Google Drive

Google Drive uses a more familiar method of deleting files: moving them to the trash. You can delete a file from any place on the disk, and it will go to the trash.

To restore such a file, you need to click on the trash can icon from the pop-up menu. All ever deleted files are located here.

You can select one or more files and click the right mouse button. There are only two options in the menu: "Delete" or "Restore". The same functions are displayed at the top right of the screen.

The fastest way to permanently delete files from the Recycle Bin is to click "Empty Recycle Bin".

So you can restore or delete files in Google Drive. Now consider Google competitor Drive - Microsoft OneDrive.

Microsoft OneDrive

Microsoft's OneDrive also moves deleted files instead of deleting them. Thus, deleted files can be found in the trash.

Once you open the OneDrive recycle bin, you will be surprised to see all the files ever deleted.

If you need to restore them, you can start "Restore All". If you delete - "Empty Trash".

And if you need to restore or delete only some of the files, you can mark them, and then the possible options of the program will change. You can "Restore" or "Delete" files, view their properties, or remove the selection.

Sometimes, even if you try very hard not to cheat, you can lose important data. That is why it is useful to know that even in such cases it is possible to recover your data even inside the cloud service.

Of course, we are aware that there are many other cloud services around that work in different ways, but after reading this article know that there are also such cloud functions. If this function is not available, you can always contact the service support service with a request to solve the problem, since the program will not be able to analyze the disk with files in the cloud.

Well, if such actions did not lead to the recovery of important data, you can remember where your files were stored besides the cloud or from where your files were downloaded or synchronized with the cloud. And scan given carrier using one of the data recovery programs. After all, all options are good for solving a problem.
