Apps won't delete.

[GalaxyKingston]

Okay when I delete shortcuts from my home screen it works, however, when I attempt to delete apps from my menu I drag them to the trash can but they will not delete. Please help.

Do you mean from the App Drawer?
If so, you can't "delete" those shortcuts if you're using the stock Launcher. I'd recommend Nova Launcher for that.

You aren't deleting correctly. Removing them from the home screen is not deleting. You are simply removing the shortcut for the app in you app drawer.

Go to the app drawer and on the page where your application sits hit the setting button on the lower left side of the phone and choose delete. Now tap the item you want to delete and confirm. When done hit the back button to get out of the delete menu. Bam your done.

Thanks guys! Got one more question. I accidently delete a bunch of videos from my note 2, is there anyway to retrieve them?

If already done, nope I don't think so unless you're rooted.
However, to prevent it in the future, get this App--> https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...etails?id=com.baloota.dumpster&token=zuPfQVK6
It works like the "Recycling Bin" on your PC allowing you to restore deleted files!
