Removing Yahoo! Applications
There are actually two options in My Yahoo! for removing a Yahoo! Application:
- Remove the app from your My Yahoo! tab but leave it installed in My Apps.
- Uninstall the app completely so it’s no longer installed for you to use anywhere.
Here’s How
-
Locate the app you want to remove on your My Yahoo! tab.
-
Select Remove on the app’s Options menu.
-
To remove the app from My Yahoo! only (leaving it installed elsewhere in Yahoo!), click the Remove button, but leave the Also remove... option unchecked.
The app disappears from My Yahoo! and the remaining content adjusts to fill in the space.
-
To permanently remove (that is, uninstall) the app everywhere you’ve installed it Yahoo! at the same time you remove it from your My Yahoo! tab, select the Also remove my other instances of this App from Yahoo! option, then click the Remove button.
The app disappears from My Yahoo! and the remaining content adjusts to fill in the space. It is also no longer listed on your My Apps page.
What’s Next
If you remove an app by mistake, follow the instructions earlier in this tutorial to restore it.
