Hi,


Method 1: Delete from Home Screen


1. Find the app you want to delete on your Home Screen.


2. Press and hold the app icon until a menu appears.


3. Tap Remove App > Delete App > Delete to confirm.


Method 2: Delete from Settings


1. Open Settings.


2. Go to General > iPad Storage.


3. Scroll down and find the app you want to delete.


4. Tap the app and select Delete App to remove it.



Method 3: Enable Offloading (Automatic Removal)


If you want to free up space but keep the app’s data:


1. Go to Settings > App Store.


2. Toggle on Offload Unused Apps—this will automatically remove apps you don’t use often while keeping their documents and data.


hopefully this helps
