There are several ways to uninstall a Cydia application, we will cover each of them as visual instructions, illustrating each step: where to click, which section to go to, where to look and check.

Uninstalling Cydia via computer

Perhaps this method will be the most radical and reliable in removing Cydia, since the condition of your phone will return to its previous, so to speak, “factory” appearance. To uninstall, you must have iTunes installed. You can download iTunes from the official .

Uninstalling Cydia via iPad

Uninstalling the Cydia application via iPad is similar to the previous methods. This can also be done in a few clicks.

When you launch the program, you will see a list of applications to update. To remove Cydia, it is recommended to first remove all tweaks.

Over the year and a half of our site’s existence, we have seen how difficult it is to please all readers. If we talk about some elementary things, there is a reason to scold us for primitivism. If we write about complex matters, then there will be even more dissatisfied people. Let today’s material seem like a bayan to some, but there are readers who ask us about such simple things as removing packages from Cydia. That's what we'll talk about today :)

As you know, in order to remove it you need to go into Cydia again, look for the installed package and delete it - for a beginner this is a rather labor-intensive process. So why can't you delete programs from Cydia in the same way as you delete programs from App Store? That's exactly what the creators thought CyDelete utilities. We thought, thought, and created a utility.

So, CyDelete will allow you to delete programs from Cydia directly from iOS desktops - when you hold down any icon, a cross will also appear next to them. You can find CyDelete in the BigBoss repository, which is added to Cydia by default.

It should be noted that CyDelete is not as omnipotent as it seems at first. It will only remove packages that have an icon on desktops. If the program exists in the form of a small tweak, then it can only be removed from Cydia, from the tab Manage-Packages.

After installing CyDelete in Settings you will find a new line.

To say that the settings are modest is to say nothing. All that can be done there is to disable the protection of Cydia itself from deletion. It is enabled by default to prevent you from deleting it by mistake. Well, if you specifically need to remove the Cydia icon along with CyDelete, then this can be done right there.

If you install and remove many programs from those offered in Cydia, then CyDelete will save many seconds spent waiting for Cydia to launch. Recommended for beginners (and lazy users;)
