My phone seems to remember old email address like an
elephant. How do I make those old addresses go away? They are not in my
contacts but are somehow stored in the memory of my phone.

Hello Peter,
If you want to delete e-mail here are a couple things you can do. To delete
an e-mail from the inbox, within the e-mail there are a row of buttons on
the bottom of the screen. Tap the delete button and the e-mail will go
away, and focus will be on the next e-mail in the conversation thread, or on
the next e-mail in your inbox.
If you want to delete mail from your trash folder. Do the following.
First, double-tap the back button from within the inbox, and you will get a
list of your mailboxes. Double-tap on trash. You will get a list of
messages in your trash folder. On the top right corner of the screen there
is a button labeled edit. Double-tap that button and then another button
will appear at the bottom of the screen which says 'delete all' or something
like that. Double-tap that button, confirm that you want to delete the
mail, and your mail is gone. Be careful doing this for the first time as
you don't want to lose mail you need. If you have a computer, the mail will
more than likely still be available there. Let me know if this is helpful.
Dan

Hello everyone,
Although we've had our iDevices for just over a year there
are still tasks we're unsure of how to perform such as completely removing
unwanted phone and e-mail messages from these devices. My iPhone
occasionally throws a message saying "Storage is nearly full" leading me to
believe that the storage is almost used up. Oneway to alieviate this and to
free up storage on a desktop or a laptop is to regularly empty the "Deleted
Items" or "Trash"folders within certain programs or on a device such as a
NAS drive. How does one do this on an iPhone or iPad? I know for a fact that
the "Mail" App on my iPhone has loads of messages deleted from my inbox. I
want to completely remove them from the device. The same is true within the
"Phone" App. There are old voicemail and other phone messages I simply want
gone from the device so they no longer hog up storage freeing it to handle
other tasks and run other Apps. I'm also looking for apps I'm no longer
using and removing them too. There's no sense in keeping something around if
you're not using it and all it's doing is taking up storage. Any assistance
in removing unwanted data and unused apps will help out a lot.
If someone could explain how to remove unwanted apps
directly on the iDevice or via iTunes will also assist us in making better
use of storage on these devices. Thanks in advance for the help.
Peter Donahue

You can remove an app by doing the following:
Find the app on your home screen or inside a folder.
Double tap and hold on the app you want gone until you hear a series of
rising clicks (about 2 seconds).
This will put you in an edit mode where you can remove apps, create folders,
etc.
While in this mode, double tap on any app. Instead of opening it, the device
will prompt you if you want to delete it or not.
There is no trash for deleted apps. Once they're gone they're gone, and all
their data will be gone with them:
To find out what is eating up all your space, simply go to settings,
general, STORAGE and ICloud Usage, Manage Storage. Inside there you will
find a list, organized by size, of all your apps and the amount of storage
they are using.
It is pretty unlikely that email messages are taking up a segnificant amount
of your storage, even if you have tons.
Good luck.
Aaron

Good evening again Aaron and everyone,
Thanks for the great description of the procedure for
removing apps from one's iDevice. I removed two apps from my iPhone and the
device is no longer telling me that its storage is nearly full. Since we
want to install the Google Apps on these devices and our other PCS we'll be
looking for more unused apps to remove.
Removing unwanted apps is just half of the equasion. Though
it's probably not taking up that much space it would still be nice to be
able to remove unwanted data such as old e-mail and voicemail message from
one's iDevice. It would seem that voicemail messages could be a storage hog
if they're allowed to accumulate over time. Some commands for removing
unwanted data from an iDevice will still be appreciated. Thanks again for
your help.

sHello,
Removing voicemail can be done by going to phone, voice mail, then edit at
the top right of the screen. Once you have pressed edit, you can press the
messages you want to delete then press the delete button at the bottom of
the screen. Once you have deleted the ones you no longer want or need, you
can press done at the top right.
