In the last three years, I’ve downloaded lots of apps to my phone that I quickly deleted. Now I have a new phone, a spiffy Nexus 5, and decided to install from the web. And there I found all of those apps listed. Yuck. But surely I could remove them…right?

Not from the web page. But it can be done from the phone. Thank you, author of this article!

Bonus: I can remove apps that were preinstalled on my Samsung Charge (which I liked). Goodbye, Blockbuster app that no longer works!

Too bad there’s no way to install multiple apps at once.
