title: How to force removing of an app from an iDevice
body: <p>I distribute my apps for beta testing using TestFlight. </p>
  
  <p>A customer has an iPhone 4 running iOS5.1, and cannot delete an app from the home screen. The app was installed OTA via TestFlight.</p>
  
  <p>The app icon has an empty progress bar on it, and when tapped the app does not run.</p>
  
  <p>Solutions tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Press and hold app icon. When it is jiggling, press x. Press delete in alert view. App does not delete. The app is still jiggling, but now with no x.</li>
  <li>Tried installing the app by USB using build and debug from Xcode - the app runs, but once the app is stopped the app still cannot be deleted.</li>
  <li>Open organizer, select app and press delete - nothing happens.</li>
  <li>In iOS settings, General > Usage, find app and press Delete. Still does not delete.</li>
  <li>Restarted device. Did not help.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Note that TestFlight lists the app as installed for that user.</p>
  
  <p>Short of jailbreaking the device are there any other ways to force the removal of an app? Has anyone had this problem before?</p>
