Can't delete app/icon called ""

[Starman002]

I wouldn't expect it to, though it might fix whatever is keeping your from deleting the icon manually. Not that I expect it to do that either. On the other hand, I've seen it fix issues I didn't expect before.

Usual Fixes is a file I keep handy for all the standard things you can try that won't delete data. I got tired of typing it all out over and over again, so now I keep this file, and just update it whenever I think I need too. Sometimes I'll delete the parts I don't think necessary, but mostly I just post the whole thing; on the theory that a particular trick might come in handy later, or for someone else.

What can I say? I'm just a bit lazy.

twerppoet,

It did not work. Any other ideas?

A trip to see a Genius might be in order.

You've tried everything I can think of, short of restoring the device.

If you an Apple store nearby it might be worth getting a Genius appointment and seeing what they say.

Or, if you happened to get Applecare when you purchased the device you could go the Tech Support route.

Sorry.

Admin,

Please close this.

The latest update 8.1.3 deleted the icon and, except for having to reset all the settings, the IpadAir is working fine.

Thanks everyone for your input.

That's very good to hear. I certainly hope you don't have to go through that again anytime soon.
