Have you recently obtained an iPad and are interested in learning more about its tools and functions? Or perhaps you need to delete a specific app and are unsure how to. Either way, this lesson will aid you in learning more about the capacity of the iPad and how to deal with the apps on your home screen.

The iPad, manufactured and created by Apple, is a 9.7” LCD touch screen with many abilities and functions for its users. Depending on what iPad you buy, it will have 3G and/or have WiFi.http://crenk.com/ipad-quick-facts/ You can access many things on the iPad such as photos, the Internet, email, videos, YouTube, iTunes, games, and much much more. The iPad comes with certain apps already installed in it which were specifically built for the iPad so they work well with the system. However, you can purchase or obtain apps to your liking whether they be certain games or organizing tools or whatever fits your needs.http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/ It has up to 10 hours of battery life and can be connected to a dock to charge.http://www.apple.com/ipad/design/ However, sometimes you purchase or obtain an app that you don't necessarily want anymore. Luckily for you, there's an easy way to delete those apps.

Have your iPad in hand and slide the bar on the screen to unlock it. This will take you to the home screen. Your home screen will have all your apps right there in front of you. Depending on how many you have, there may be multiple pages of apps. The apps will appear as small square boxes, decorated differently depending what they are.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbkUj9goa8Q&feature=player_embedded

Locate the app you are trying to delete to move onto the next step.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbkUj9goa8Q&feature=player_embedded

Once you've located the app you want to delete, you must press your finger on that designated app. Hold that app down with your finger (by pressing on the icon) until all the apps on your home screen start to wiggle. An 'x' will appear in the upper left corner of all the apps on your home screen. This means you've held the icon down long enough and you can now choose which apps you would like to delete, one at a time.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbkUj9goa8Q&feature=player_embedded

Now that you've gotten the apps to wiggle and show their x's, you can pick the one you want to delete. With your finger, click the x of the desired app. Once you do this, a small box will appear on your home screen asking if you want to delete that particular app. You will have a choice of 'delete' or 'cancel.' Choose the 'delete' option and that app will be deleted and disappear from your home screen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbkUj9goa8Q&feature=player_embedded

Congratulations! You now have the knowledge to delete any apps you want off of your iPad.
