How to delete apps from iCloud on an iPhone or iPad

If you have an iPhone or iPad and need to clear out some space in your iCloud account, deleting unused apps is a great place to start. Here’s how:

First, go to your home screen and find the app you want to delete from iCloud.

Next, hold down on the app icon until it starts shaking.

Tap the “X” that appears on the top left corner of the app icon.

A message will pop up asking if you want to delete the app. Tap “Delete App.”

If prompted whether or not you want to keep a copy of this data on your device, choose “Delete from My iPhone/iPad.”

Now repeat these steps for each additional app that needs deleting.

To ensure that they are gone for good, head over to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups. Now select which device’s backup file contains those apps and tap “Show All Apps”. Finally swipe left on any unwanted apps then tap Delete.

How to delete apps from iCloud on a Mac

Deleting apps from iCloud on a Mac is another easy task that can help you save space. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the App Store on your Mac.
2. Click on “Purchased” in the top toolbar.
3. You’ll see a list of all your purchased apps, including those that are stored in iCloud.
4. Scroll through the list and find the app you want to delete from iCloud.
5. Click on the “X” button next to the app’s name.

A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to hide or delete the app from iCloud. If you choose “Hide,” it will be hidden but still saved in your purchase history and available for download again later if needed.

If you choose “Delete,” however, it will be permanently removed from your purchase history, along with any associated data stored in iCloud.

Repeat this process for any other apps you want to remove from iCloud storage and free up some valuable space on your devices!
