Getting Rid of Unwanted Apps on iPadSolved

Hey @verbnigge,

Yeah, I’ve had the same issue before! Some apps don’t give you the delete option because they’re either built-in apps or controlled by settings. First, check if there are any restrictions in place:

1. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
2. Toggle on Content & Privacy Restrictions and then go to iTunes & App Store Purchases.
3. Select Deleting Apps, make sure it is set to Allow.

Let me know if that helps!

Hello @verbnigge,

Thanks for your question. If the steps @monty shared don’t solve the issue, Hexnode offers a way to delete apps remotely. Here’s how to do it:

1. Log in to your Hexnode UEM portal.
2. Go to Manage and select the device under the Devices tab.
3. Click on the Action menu and choose Uninstall Application.
4. Select the app you want to uninstall, then click Done.
5. Enter your password as the final step.

This should delete the app from the iPad. Feel free to reach out if you need more help!

Hey @verbnigge,

I’ve had a similar problem before. Some apps can be linked to a profile (like a profile), which might prevent you from deleting them. To check:

1. Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
2. If there’s a profile, removing it could allow app deletion. Please be aware that removing the profile will stop communication between the device and the MDM, so it’s best to try @elleanor_lane or @monty methods first.

If nothing else works, as a last resort, you can do a full device reset. This will wipe everything, including any apps that you can’t delete.

Good luck!

Thanks so much, everyone! I’ll try these out and see what works.
