Hey guys/girls,

Does anyone know a way to remove the installed applications from iPhone's simulator. Mine is getting a little huge with all the test applications.

Regards.

Mustafa,

It's really simple. You do it the same way you delete apps on the phone. Launch the simulator, then click and hold on an app from the "finder". Wait for the apps to start vibrating, then click on the delete "x" for each app that you want to delete. There may be a programmatic way to do it, but this way works fine.

In the menu bar at the very top of the screen, next to the Apple logo,
Click on "Iphone Simulator" and drag down to "Reset Content and Settings"
This will reset the simulator to what it was originally.
