Once the apps are wiggling, tap the X button. A confirmation menu will ask if you’re sure. Yes, you’re sure. That yoga app you downloaded once in 2018? It’s gone.
Hold down and drag multiple apps to delete them faster. This is a pro move. It saves you from tapping each X individually—which feels like a punishment game.
Funny Detail: The “Offload” Trap
Here’s where it gets weird. Your iPhone 7 has a sneaky feature called “Offload Unused Apps.” It hides apps without deleting them. Their icons stay gray, like ghost logos waiting to haunt you.
To truly erase, you must disable that. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Find “Offload Unused Apps” and toggle it off. Otherwise, you’re just politely asking apps to take a nap. We want exorcism, not naptime.
