Deleting Applications
You can delete iPad applications that you’ve installed from the App Store. You can’t
delete built-in iPad applications.
iTunes automatically backs up any applications you download to iPad when you sync.
If you delete an application on iPad, you can reinstall it if it was previously synced.
Important: If you delete an application, documents and data associated with the
application are deleted from iPad, unless you reinstall the application and restore its
data from a backup using iTunes.
Delete an App Store application:
1 Touch and hold any application icon on the Home screen until the icons start to
wiggle.
2 Tap in the corner of the application you want to delete.
3 Tap Delete.
Press the Home button to cancel.
When you delete an application, its data is no longer accessible, but it isn’t erased from
iPad. For information about erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting iPad” on
page 12 5.
Syncing Purchases
iTunes automatically syncs applications you download or purchase on iPad to your
iTunes library when you connect iPad to your computer. This lets you access the
downloaded applications on your computer and provides a backup if you delete
applications from iPad.
Downloaded applications are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes.
Afterwards, only application data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Applications are synced to the Applications list in your iTunes library. iTunes creates
the list if it doesn’t exist.
