Uninstall an iPad 2 App

One of the reasons that people have trouble deleting apps from their iPads is because the method for doing so is based on gestures. And if the majority of your computing and device experience is on non-touch technology, then performing a task with gestures is not always the obvious solution.   Step 1: Locate the app that you want to uninstall.

    Step 2: Tap and hold your finger on the app until it starts to shake and an X appears in the upper-left corner of the app icon.

    Step 3: Tap the X.

    Step 4: Tap the Delete button to confirm that you want to delete the app and its’ data from your iPad.
