How to Unpin an Application from the Start Screen?

Once your WP7 Start screen has one or more application pinned, you will be able to unpin those apps from there. If you don’t have any applications pinned in the Start Screen, it will directly navigate you to the application list.

First of all, come to the start screen of the device (assuming that you have at least one application pinned there). You will see as below. Tab and hold the application for a few seconds.

This will remove the application from the start screen. If you have only one application, it will navigate you to the application list. Else, it will stay in the same page where you will be able to do other operations to another application.

 

In our case, as we have only one application it will navigate us to the Application list as shown below:

Follow the same steps for all the applications that you want to unpin from the Start Screen. This is a manual process and you have to do for each applications.
