Delete the app manually by holding the app icon, click the X icon, then select delete, then delete the iCloud. Save data via the steps above after that.

Is the app not compatible with IOS 11? Once you update to IOS 11, apps with 32-bit architectures will not work and only 64-bit architectures will work! You will need to delete the app! Does it say “You cannot associate this device with another Apple ID for [number] days”? This can be up to 90 days ,in such cases, you may need to wait to delete the data

Question

Is it possible to delete an app completely? When I delete it, then try to install it again, it shows the iCloud symbol.

Community Answer

Yes, you can! Delete the app,head to iCloud, then delete the data for the app,or delete ICloud Drive data if needed!If you wish to do this, it is highly recommended you hide it as well by heading to the App Store, entering your purchase history, and sliding the app to the left to move it to “Hidden Purchases”.

You can’t delete iCloud data unless you are on IOS 5 or later. Update your device via iTunes.
