How do I remove a partially downloaded free app?

I was going to download a free magazine app but cancelled it partway through the download. It never showed up on my ipad screen but is in Settings, it show the mag app in the Notification area. I have turned off notifications but want it off my ipad. Because there is no icon anywhere but in the notification area, I cannot delete it. Please help.

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.6

Try resetting the iPad and then see if the icon shows up so that you can either delete the app, or continue the download and then delete the app if you don't want it.


Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
