Gmail Account not Deleting Emails

Is your Gmail account not giving you the option to Delete when you slide or even edit and check the message? Does it say Archive?






  • To fix this go to Settings


  • Mail contacts and calendars


  • Select your Gmail account


  • Scroll down and turn off Archive Messages


  • Go to home page

  • Open Mailbox and you should be able to delete now.

For my Droid peeps

Seems that with IceCream Sandwhich (os 4.0) you can now delete apps from your Google Play Account:


  • Go to PlayStore
  • Go to My Apps
  • Go to All

You will see a circle with a line through it. This will allow you to delete the apps. Please keep in mind it has to be uninstalled from your phone in order for you to see this icon.


Sorry don't have an Android that I can do screenshots of.

2.At the bottom right-hand side, you will notice a network icon. Click on it.
3.Right-click your wireless network connection, and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
4.You will notice the Wireless Network Properties window appear. Click Security at the top.
