Using the double tap and hold option on your phone to delete an app may
run you into the IOS 8 bug where you can't always delete an app in the
bottom row of a home page. There are some work arounds for this
discussed on this list so you may be able to find more information in
the archives.
This is the only way I've ever tried to remove an app from my iPhone, so
I can't help with your other issues.

I had an unusual experience this evening. I was going to try and find
the Money reader app, so, I tried to uninstall the old non-working
version. first I tried deleting it from my phone. I double tapped and
held, and it made the correct sound. I then flicked to delete, and
double tapped that, but it wouldn't delete. Next, I tried deleting it
from my iTunes Library, and got a dialog asking me if I was sure I
wanted to delete the app from my iTunes Library. I hit yes, then it said
the app could not be deleted from my phone, even though I deleted it
from my Library. I synced it anyway, and sure enough, it was still
there. totally weird! So went my adventures trying to get stuff off my
phone.

Hi Eden,
Are you talking about apps? What I described before is as detailed as I
can make it with respect to apps. You talk about "things". Is this
music, ringtones, pictures?

Hmm, when I go through them on my computer, it doesn't show them
now, but they are still on the phone. can you tell me exact steps to go
to delete, please, I can't seem to get things off my phone through my
computer even though that's how I got them on there in the first place.

Hi Eden,
If you want to manage apps on your phone with iTunes you simply hook
up your device and then go to your device, tab to the list view and
the second item after Summary is Apps.
Use F6 or multiple presses of the tab key to get to where Jaws says
"Apps table Treeview".
Now you can arrow down through all your apps in iTunes and check or
uncheck them. Those you check get synced to your phone and those that
are not checked don't. If they were checked and you clear the
checkmark they will get removed.
When you are done tab to "Apply" or go to "File", "Devices" and select
"Sync".
If I want to remove multiple apps or put multiple apps back on my
phone I find this much more efficient than deleting them from my phone
one by one.
As for getting "crap" off your phone, I suggest you use a damp cloth
and to make sure to wash your hands after using the facilities *smile*.
OK, joking aside, you really should be more specific as to what
exactly you want to accomplish.
Regards,
Sieghard
