If there is an unused tile or App on your Start Bar you may prefer to move to off the Start Menu, this won’t uninstall any apps but  will keep your Start Menu well organised with your favourite tiles.

To remove an App or Tile from the Windows Phone Start Menu:

  • Find the tile you wish to remove
  • Hold your Finger down on the Tile until it becomes highlighted.
  • Press the unpin icon that has appeared on the tile.

You can still see all your installed Apps by swipping right on the screen to move to the apps screen.
