Mail on Apple Watch, delete icon

Why can I not delete mail from my Apple Watch? I have the latest updates and when I go to rearrange my icons the X does not show up in the upper left corner to delete the icon.

I wish to delete the mail off my Apple Watch due to it repeatedly asking for a password multiple times through the day, it’s quite annoying.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6

Below are the instructions, though #3 & #4 will not work because the "X" does not show on the App. in the rearrange state. The Apple Support instructions do not work was looking for another passable solution.


Delete a built-in app from your device

  1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, touch and hold the app.
  2. Tap Rearrange Apps.
  3. Tap  in the upper-left corner to delete the app.
  4. Tap Delete. Then on an iPhone X or later, tap Done. Or on an iPhone 8 or earlier, press the Home button.

If you have an Apple Watch, deleting an app from your iPhone also deletes that app from your Apple Watch.
