I recently got a new Apple Watch Series 6. I tried to get an app that was for a newer version of watchOS, and it created an app that was stuck in the middle of downloading. I tried to use the normal deletion method, but there was no x to be seen. Is there a way to get rid of it?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Thank you! I’ll try that soon.
