Manually remove app settings

The twitter application I was using stopped working and was constantly crashing my phone. I deleted the app, yet the settings and options that link in with other apps still remain (instagram etc). Whenever I click on these my phone crashes. Is there a way to totally remove all traces of this? I have tried backing up restoring, updating and a hard reboot yet nothing has worked. It's driving me up the wall. Any ideas?

I am also having issues deleting an app, but I can't find anything on my computer that says settings. Only system preferences and in there I can't find anything similar to the instructions here.



....I just realized that this is about a phone. I have a laptop. Well, does anyone know how to delete an unwanted app off a laptop? (I got the app to shake, there's no x and it didn't come with my computer). The app is called "face++".
