Throw the item off the side of the screen. If prompted, tap Delete to confirm the deletion.

If you can’t delete a list item by throwing it, open the item and look in the application menu for a Delete menu item.

TIP To delete multiple list items, throw each one off the screen. If you get the Delete confirmation prompt after throwing the first item, you don’t need to tap it—just throw the second item, and the first deletion is confirmed automatically.

TIP In some apps, such as Email, you can set a preference whether to show a confirmation screen when you delete a list item.
