Game Center: How to remove uninstalled games?

I've deleted the game from iTunes and from the iPhone, and it still shows up on the Games List. How do I remove games I have uninstalled? Is it possible?

I don't want anything do with it anymore, and having the game show up on the list is rather annoying, given that I didn't like it in the first place (hence it being uninstalled).

Thanks... I hope on the next update this little hiccup should be resolved.

Perhaps a way to - from Game Center itself - to unlink any installed games, or at least detect games that have been unistalled and give an option to remove them as well. Without having to do what I did, which was install again and uninstall from the iPhone as Mindzi suggested.

It worked for me.

I re-installed the game using the appstore on my iPad, then deleted it by touching and holding the icon until it started to jiggle, it asked me if I wanted to delete data on the leadership board. My iPad was NOT connected to iTunes.

I dont know if this helps, but I then shut down and re-started my iPad and the game in game center was gone.


I have the latest IOS 4.3.3 (8J3)


I would also suggest that you then delete the game from iTunes before you connect your device, so that it doesnt sync the app again.


Hope this helps you all.

I have the same problem. I deleted a game from my iPhone and when asked if I wanted to delete all Game Center data, I said yes. However, that now deleted game still appears in my Game Center list. Also, this game is no longer available in the App Store so I cannot reinstall and remove it again to see if that works. Hopefully Apple creates an option to remove specific game data directly from Game Center. If anyone knows a fix, please let me know.

I clearly understand what did you mean. I have the same proble as well and it is so annoying. Because once you miss the chance when it ask you to remove from Game Centre and you will unable to remove it again. So my advice which is also the only way to remove that is to reinstall your game and delete it, so this time round you must not miss the notification again 😀 I hope you get what i said.
