Hi all.
I have just received an iphone 4 S.
Different websites say its easy, just press on an app, and they all start to wobble.
Then an x appears, press on that, and the app is deleted.
I get them wobbling, but no x ever appears.

So, how do I get rid of all those things I will never use ?
Thanks

You can't delete stock iOS apps. Only third party apps that you download from the App Store.

Just create a folder called Junk Apps.

For the apps you cannot delete, just drag an one of the apps you do not want onto another app you do not want and it will create a folder with those in it. Then you can drag all the apps you do not want into it.

Now they only take up one space on the screen. Not as good as being able to delete them, but it saves space and you don't have to look at them all.
