Removing apps/data fields

Just added some apps and data fields to garmin edge 1000 via Bluetooth and iPad and also garmin express

How come I can remove garmin created widgets but not 3rd party apps, GE says they are removed and gives a cloud symbol, but they are still on the device

They are from 2 different sources/authors yet garmin ones add/remove ok

Any advice

useful update

Here is an update which sheds some light and maybe of use to others

I have solved the problem and install/delete is working now

It is possibly due to my initial install via ipad 2/ios 9.21, only has Bluetooth and not ble, as GCM says no Bluetooth but does the app install

Here is what I did

Turned off Bluetooth and wifi on edge to stop auto updates
Connect via usb
Copied app folder as a backup to another windows pc drive
Deleted all apps/widgets using GC, these went down on items count, but still left some prg files
Install and delete again count went up and down and still left bogies
Left apps folder on edge drive but deleted contents
Restarted edge, this populated apps folder with sub folders and an in.bin and out.bin
Connected to GE, now able to add fields and widgets and remove

All is good, I noted that the bogey prg files had a double dot in the file name so might be issue with GC mobile

Hope this helps

Regards Jim
