Currently (May 2011) The Times app holds 8 copies of the times and then deletes them sequentially. You can't delete individual issues (at least not in this version of the app) but you can clear the entire cache if you want to. Here's how:

- Open 'Settings' on your iPad
- Choose 'The Times' from the list of apps
- Slide the 'Clear cache' button to 'on'
- Quit 'Settings' and reopen the Times iPad app
Hope this helps.

I have the same problem with one Local News paper and the (German) "Bild" News papare which keeps the last 7 days.

It is about time all those daily News paper, will add that simple task of Deleting Past issues Manually.

Thanks to both Pigweed and f4780y for the "clear cache" method in settings.
You folks are amazing how you seem to know everything. ~ smile ~

Hi folks

Just wondered if it's possible to delete archived versions of the Daily Telegraph from my IPad.
Fiddled about with settings, tried in Telegraph App itself to no avail. Any suggestions

Hi I am new to this forum game but hope to be able to assist. This may be a bit longwinded for the experience but here goes.
Times Issues Deletion Of
Like others, I have many issues of the Times and Sunday Times on the iPad, most of which I will never be re-read.
Here is a way I succeeded in clearing all the issues.
Connect the device to your computer. Open iTunes, select your device in the leftmost list, then select Apps in the heading under the Apple logo, scroll down your apple list for the Times or S Times: select the associated remove button (to the right), then Apply.
After the apply process has finished, repeat the above process but this time click the associated button that will now have changed from Remove to Install and then re-Apply.
Your device will now have the issues removed but may still list your old issues ready to re-download if required.
You may need to reposition the icons on to your preferred home screen.
Hope that is of use to someone. Regards, William
