Apple device management: iPad app deletion and macOS clean installation

Guides are available for managing and resetting Apple devices, specifically focusing on iPad application management and macOS clean installations.

For iPad users, methods to remove applications include using the contextual menu by long-pressing an app or using the visual method where icons shake to reveal a delete icon. While most third-party apps can be removed, certain native Apple system tools are permanent. Users are advised to check parental control settings if they encounter issues deleting apps.

For macOS, performing a clean installation is recommended to restore original performance or resolve software conflicts. While Apple provides direct reinstallation via System Settings, advanced users can use external bootable media. Tools like the open-source macUSB can automate the creation of these installers. Essential preparations include performing a Time Machine backup to iCloud or an external drive and using a USB or SSD with at least 32GB of capacity.
