How to Remove an App or Profile

Removing an app or iOS profile from a device

There may come a time when you want to removed an app from a device. In order for an app to be removed from a device it must be a Managed app, meaning it was sent to the device from Manager. iOS profiles can be deleted regardless of whether they were installed from Apple Configurator or Manager. 

Section 1: Removing an App

• • In Manager, click on the Devices tab

    

• • Select your device
  • Click the Inventory tab on the right

    

• Click the Managed Apps section at the top
• Click the trash can icon next to the app you want to remove
• confirm you want to remove the app

Section 2: Removing an iOS Profile

• • Select your device
  • Click the Inventory tab on the right

    

• Click the Profiles section (third option)
• Click the trash can icon next to the profile you want to remove
• confirm you want to remove the profile

Section 3: Schedule App or iOS Profile Removal for Later
