「iPhoneアプリを消したい、けど設定も消えるし面倒…」そんな悩みを解決する裏ワザ

An app that I used to use a lot but I don't use anymore these days. It wastes the storage space of your iPhone, gets in the way on the home screen and settings screen, and makes you want to delete it. [Photo] Even when I selected "Remove App", I used to use it a lot before, and I may want to use it again. Considering the troublesome procedure of "reinstalling, logging in again, and setting again" at that time, it may be better to keep it even if it is not used now ... Don't worry. Hmm? You don't have to! In iOS, there is a way to keep only the documents and data of the app while removing the app itself. By doing so, when you reinstall the app, it will be restored to the state it was in when you deleted it last time, so you can almost eliminate the above-mentioned trouble. Normally, when you want to delete an app, long-tap the app's icon on the home screen and execute "Delete App" from the quick action. On the other hand, to remove only the app itself, use the [iPhone Storage] item in [General] of the [Settings] app. It's OK if you execute "Remove App". The removed app, but the data and documents are kept, can be restored by "Reinstall App" from [iPhone Storage]. The same is true even if you reinstall from the App Store normally.
