What is self service portal in Desktop Central?

The self-service portal in Desktop Central is an online platform that allows end-users to access commonly used services and software from almost any location and device. Through the self-service portal, end-users can install software on their own, freeing up IT staff from tedious and time-consuming manual installation tasks.

The portal is also an effective way to inform users of updates regarding software and hardware, as well as ensuring that IT admins control which activities and users can access the portal. Additionally, the portal allows admins to delegate day-to-day IT tasks like license management and remote control.

By using the self-service portal, IT departments are no longer limited to local users or specific computers, allowing them to work with a wide variety of users and devices without worrying about the complexity and time involved in managing software, assets, and end-points on a daily basis.

How do I completely uninstall an app?

It depends on the type of device you are using. Different devices have different methods for uninstalling apps. On most mobile devices, such as iOS or Android, you can press and hold the app’s icon until a menu appears and then select ‘uninstall’ or ‘remove’.

Alternatively, you can open the device settings, select ‘Apps’ or ‘Applications’ and find the app you want to uninstall. Select the app and there should be an option to uninstall.

On a PC, open the Control Panel and click on Uninstall a program. Select the app you want to uninstall and click Uninstall. On Mac, go to the Applications folder and find the app you want to uninstall, drag the app to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart the computer.

No matter what device you are using, it’s usually possible to find an option to uninstall the app in the settings menu or control panel. For additional help, you can check the documentation that came with the app or contact the app developer.

Is uninstalling an app the same as deleting it?

No, uninstalling an app is not the same as deleting it. Uninstalling an app means that it is removed from your device, while deleting an app means deleting the app and associated data. When you uninstall an app, it is removed from the device, but the app and data are still stored on your device.

On the other hand, when you delete an app, the app and any files associated with it are completely removed from the device. To completely remove an app and all associated data, you must both delete and uninstall it.

Can I delete an app and reinstall it?

Yes, you can delete an app and reinstall it. To delete an app from your device, you can go to your device’s settings, click on your app manager or apps section, select the app you’d like to delete, and tap ‘uninstall’ or ‘delete’.

After the app has been uninstalled, you can then reinstall it from your app store. For example, if you have an iOS device, you can reinstall it from the App Store. If you have an Android device, you can reinstall it from the Google Play Store.

Is removing the app the same as deleting an app on an iPhone?

No, removing the app from an iPhone is not the same as deleting an app. Removing an app is an option that allows you to hide the app from the home screen without deleting any of the app’s data or settings.

This is a great option for hiding apps you don’t use often or if you simply don’t want the app icon visible. On the other hand, deleting an app completely removes it from the device, erasing all related data and settings.

This is a great way to free up some storage space if an app is taking up too much of your device’s storage. If you ever decide to use the app again, you will likely need to redownload it, install it, and set it up again as if it were a new app.

What is the difference between deleting an app and uninstalling an app?

The key difference between deleting an app and uninstalling an app is that deleting an app removes the app from the device, while uninstalling an app actually removes the data associated with the app and clears the cache.

When you delete an app, you are simply removing the shortcut icon or link to the app. The application will remain installed on the device, but it will no longer be accessible. On the other hand, when you uninstall an app, it completely removes all the data associated with the application and clears the cache.

This means that any data associated with the app will be gone from the device. Uninstalling an application is the most effective way to ensure that the app is completely removed from the device.

Does removing app from home screen save memory?

Yes, removing an app from the home screen does save memory. Removing an app from the home screen does not delete it, but rather removes any shortcuts for more convenient access. Allowing the app to remain on the home screen leads to unneeded memory being used, since the phone must constantly remember that it exists.

Another factor that can help conserve memory is monitoring the access of apps in the background. By ensuring that you’re only using the apps that you need, you can help prevent apps from taking up unneeded memory and processes.

Why can’t I delete apps?

Unfortunately, you cannot delete apps from your mobile device if your phone has a non-removable battery. If you have an older model phone, there may not be any way to delete an app since many phone manufacturers have started to make devices with non-removable batteries.

However, if your phone does have a removable battery, you may be able to delete apps by going to your system or app settings and uninstalling the app. Please note that while it is possible to delete apps, some will leave behind data such as temporary files, logs, caches, and cookies.

To completely delete an app, you’ll need to delete these files as well.

If you’re unable to delete apps for some reason, you may have to reset your device to its factory default settings. This process will delete all apps and configurations on your device, and your phone will be returned to its original state.

Be sure to back up your data before performing a factory reset.

Will deleting an app delete its data?

It depends on the app and the device you are using. Generally, when you delete an app from your device, the data associated with it will also be deleted. However, some apps offer “cloud-based” storage or synchronization of your data, meaning that the data is stored in their cloud server, and may not be deleted when you delete an app from your device.

However, you can usually delete data from the cloud server as well by logging into your app store account, or by contacting the app provider for assistance. Additionally, for Apple devices, if you have enabled iCloud backup for the app, the data stored in the app may be backed up in iCloud, and not deleted when you delete the app from the device.

Why are deleted apps still on my iPhone?

One reason could be due to storing information from the app in iCloud. If this is enabled, information from the app will sync with iCloud, which will then sync across all connected devices. Another possible reason could be that the app was only temporarily deleted.

This type of deletion is usually called “Offloading,” and can be used to free up storage space on your device without deleting an app or accompanying data. Additionally, there are often multiple versions of apps available on the App Store; an out-of-date version could still be installed on your device, even though you’ve deleted the most current version.

Finally, the app may continue to appear on your device as there may still be residual files associated with the app. These files will often remain until they are manually removed.

Do deleted apps still have access to your phone?

No, once an app is deleted it no longer has access to your phone. When an app is deleted, it is removed from the device and is no longer able to access any of the phone’s data or services. When an app is uninstalled, all of the associated data related to the app is removed from the device.

This includes any personal or confidential information that may have been associated with the app, such as passwords or other credentials. Also, any permission settings associated with the app will be reset, so the app will not be able to access the phone’s services in any way.

How do I delete deleted app data?

Generally, deleting an app by itself on your device will delete the associated data. However, if you have manually backed up the app data (on iCloud, for example), then you may need to delete that data separately.

If you are using an iOS device, you can delete the app data by going to “Settings” > “General” > “iPhone Storage” and then finding the app you want to remove. Finally, you can select the app and hit “Delete App” to remove the app and its associated data.

On Android devices, you can usually find the same function under “Settings” > “Apps” > “Manage Apps”. From here, you can select the app and hit “Uninstall” to delete the app and its associated data.
