Sad, but true. You can delete an app in two ways: in iTunes on your computer or directly from your iPhone. To delete an app in iTunes, click the Apps icon and then do one of the following:\r\n\r\nClick the app’s icon to select it, and then choose Edit → Delete or press Delete/Backspace.\r\n\r\nRight-click (or Control+click on a Mac) the app’s icon and choose Delete.\r\n\r\nEither way, you see a dialog asking whether you’re sure you want to remove the selected app. If you click the Remove button, the app is removed from your iTunes library, as well as from any iOS device that syncs with your iTunes library.\r\nYou can download any app you’ve purchased again, for free, from the App Store. So deleting it means that it's gone only from your device or computer. You can always get it back by downloading it again unless, as previously stated, the app is no longer available in the App Store.\r\nFinally, iOS 10 lets you delete most of the Apple apps that came with your iPhone if you care to. Here’s how to delete almost any app on your iPhone:\r\n\r\n\tPress and hold down any icon until all the icons begin to jiggle.\r\n\tTap the little x in the upper-left corner of the app you want to delete.\r\n\r\nA dialog appears, informing you that deleting this app also deletes all its data.\r\n\tTap the Delete button in the dialog box.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_232532\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"253\"] Tap an app’s little x to mark the app for deletion.[/caption]\r\n\r\nDid you notice that Wallet, App Store, Photos, Camera, Clock, Health, Settings, Phone, Safari, and Messages may be jiggling but they don’t have little x’s? Those (along with Find My iPhone in the Extras folder on the second Home page) are the Apple apps that can’t be removed.\r\nJust remember that deleting an app from your iPhone this way doesn’t get rid of it permanently. The app remains in your iTunes library until you delete it from iTunes. If you want to get rid of an app for good and for always after you delete it on your iPhone, you must also delete it from your iTunes library. Even then it’s not really gone forever because you can download purchased apps again for free. And, of course, you can download free apps again for free because, well, they’re free.\r\nIf you see a warning that deleting the app also deletes any associated data, you may want to save the data before deleting the app. Different apps have different schemes for importing and exporting data; the important thing is that if you create documents with an app (notes, images, videos, and such), deleting the app will delete any files you’ve created with that app unless they’re saved to iCloud or elsewhere. Forewarned is forearmed.\r\nIf you delete an app and later change your mind and want it back on your iPhone, just tap the Updates button in the App Store app and then tap Purchased. Then just tap the little cloud icon to reinstall the app on your iPhone.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":141654,"data":{"title":"How to Choose the Windows 10 Default Application for Opening Files","slug":"how-to-choose-the-windows-10-default-application-for-opening-files","update_time":"2018-06-11T18:52:32+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Computers","slug":"computers","categoryId":33513},{"name":"Operating Systems","slug":"operating-systems","categoryId":33524},{"name":"Windows","slug":"windows","categoryId":33532},{"name":"Windows 10","slug":"windows-10","categoryId":33535}],"description":"Some types of files can be opened with more than one application. For example, if your computer is anywhere near typical, two or three different applications on your computer can open graphics files. Sometimes when you open a file, it opens in the wrong application. Windows 10 opens files with the default application — the one that Windows 10 thinks you prefer. But what if the default application isn’t your first choice for opening files of a certain type?\r\n\r\nFollow these steps to tell Windows 10 which application to use to open files of a certain type:\r\n\r\n \tSelect the Windows button and choose Settings on the pop-up menu.\r\n\r\nThe Windows Settings screen opens.\r\n \tSelect Apps to open the Apps & Features window.\r\n \tSelect Default Apps on the left side of the window.\r\n \tScroll down and select the Choose Default Apps by File Type link.\r\n\r\nThe Associate File Types with Specific Apps window opens. This window lists the file extensions by which different file types are known.\r\n \t\r\nIn the Name column, scroll to and select the file type you are concerned with.\r\nFor example, if you want to change the application with which Windows 10 opens JPEG files, scroll to and select the JPEG file extension.\r\n\r\n \tIn the Default App column, select Choose a Default (if no default application has been chosen yet) or the name of the default application (if a default application has been chosen).\r\n\r\nThe Choose an App window opens.

Fret not, gentle reader and Android user. The settings you choose for the Complete Action Using prompt on your Android device can be undone. For example, if you select the PDF Viewer app, you can undo that choice by following these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Choose Apps & Notifications. This item is titled Apps in some releases of the Android operating system.
- Choose App info. If you don’t see this item, skip to Step 4.
- Choose the app that always opens. This is the tough step because you must remember which app you chose to “always” open.
- On the app’s screen, choose Open by Default or Set as Default. If the item shows the text Some Defaults Set, you’re on the right track. Apps that haven’t been chosen as the default show the text No Defaults Set.
- Tap the CLEAR DEFAULTS button.
After you clear the defaults for an app, you see the Open With card again. The next time you see it, however, make a better choice. About This Article
