Once downloaded, you can’t even delete apps from your iPhone anymore. You can remove them from the Home Screen but they will always linger under the surface of i0S.

This is false. A deleted App is deleted. It does not remain on your iPhone. Quit pushing lies.

Trust me Sam, deleted apps are gone and the space they occupied is available again… there is merely a flag that points to the fact you once DID indeed download this app… and links to the location of the App Store download to speed downloading it again if you choose to do so, or in case the deletion was accidental. Erase your cookies, and even that is gone. It’s that simple. They do the same thing in Android.

People get confused by the cloud symbol with the down arrow, thinking the app is still there, but it isn’t.
