Q: Apps Stuck on 'Waiting'

Hi,

 

I own a 16GB iPhone 5s running iOS 10 GM (problem started before iOS 10 Beta).

 

On my phone, I have 6 apps that are just stuck on 'Waiting'. When I hold the apps to make them jiggle there isn't even a 'X' for me to delete the app, and when there is it doesn't delete when I press delete. Very frustrating.


I have tried the following:

  • Signing in and out of the iTunes Store (done this multiple times)
  • Signed out of Itunes Store and did a reboot (power button and home button way)
  • Tried to re-install the app through the App Store
  • Tried to find the app in 'purchased' and re-downloading it from there
  • Reset all Settings
  • Rebooting my phone multiple times
  • Tried to delete whilst not being signed into the App Store


I have tried heaps of things, nothing is working. I do NOT want to resort to a full hard reset of my iPhone.


I do infact know what has caused it. If I go to update my phone and when the Software Update tells me that it's going to remove certain apps to make space and it will reinstall them, that's what makes it stuff up like this.

 

Please help!
