Apps permanently remove from app library

How do I remove apps permanently from app library?

With screen time, I see that some games still show up with the cloud icon in app library and can be installed by students. Is there a way to permanently remove from app library.


Also with screen time, only remove shows & Not delete. I tried 'Allow delete' for apps and still the same issue in iphone & ipad - the current game icons shows as 'Remove app' not 'delete'

Remove apps from iPhone

You can easily remove apps from your iPhone. If you change your mind, you can download the apps again later.


Remove apps

Do any of the following:

  • Remove an app from the Home Screen: Touch and hold the app on the Home Screen, tap Remove App, then tap Remove from Home Screen to keep it in App Library, or tap Delete App to delete it from iPhone.
  • Delete an app from App Library and Home Screen: Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete. (See Find your apps in App Library.)

If you change your mind, you can redownload apps you’ve removed.
