I visited Genius Bar today to clear a problem with Safari. The tech found and removed two ad blocker apps which cleared the trouble. It returned, probably because my iPad synced up with iTunes via WiFi.
I just deleted the ad blocker apps from iTunes but now I have to get them off the iPad again. How do I do that in Settings?

Hello, Tom.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you want to remove a couple add blocker applications from your iPad. As your iPad syncs via Wi-Fi and the applications keep installing, you will need to delete both the applications from your iPad and iTunes when connected to your home network. Here are the steps that will walk you through that process.
Delete an app
Remove an app using the steps below:
- Tap and hold on the app until it jiggles.
- Tap the
in the upper-left corner to delete.
You might be asked to confirm that you want to delete the app. If you see a pop-up that says, "Deleting [app name] will also delete all of its data," tap Delete.
Delete music, movies, apps, and other content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iTunes 12 for Mac: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
Cheers
That nailed it. Thanks, Jason!
Tom,
No problem at all and glad it is resolved!
Happy Holidays
