Step 2. Now tap the small "ⓧ" button that appeared in the upper left corner of the icon for the app you want to uninstall
Remember that pre-installed applications, for example the App Store, Settings, Contacts and Safari, cannot be removed, so the "ⓧ" button will not appear

If for any reason you changed your mind or selected the wrong app by mistake, you can press the button Cancel to stop the uninstall process.
Step 4. To return to the normal viewing mode of the Home screen simply press the "Home" button

Step 3. Click the iPad icon
It is displayed in the upper left of the iTunes window.
Step 4. Select the App category
It is located in the sidebar on the left of the iTunes window in the "Settings" section.
Step 5. Find the application you want to delete
The list of apps is displayed in the main iTunes pane located in the center of the window, just below the "Applications" heading.
You may need to scroll down the list to find the application you want to delete
Step 6. Press the Remove button
It appears to the right of the name of each application listed and then installed on the iPad.
